We already knew this but now a published scientific study has confirmed it: Beyonce’s fans rank among the dumbest on earth, second only to Lil Wayne’s fans. No surprise there either.

The sad part is the study showed that fans of Hip Hop and pop music were among the least intelligent of those tested.

Read it and weep! From The SUN:

    YOUR taste in music reflects your intelligence – and Beyonce fans are among the most stupid, it was claimed today.

    Devotees of the Destiny’s Child star came close to the bottom of the pile in a student’s comparison between exam results and musical tastes.

    But they are not the worst of the worst – unless they are also fans of rapper Lil’ Wayne – because his followers are deemed the least intelligent.

    Devotees of Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z also ranked low in the scale, it was claimed.

    They are among the findings of the probe by Virgil Griffiths, a PhD student in America, who puts Beethoven listeners as far and away the smartest.

    Griffith compared students’ scores in SAT exams with their favorite music acts and genres by analyzing data on social networking sites.

    Those who prefer Indie music are most intelligent, while gospel, pop and rock fans were all ranked at the lower end of the scale.

    Those who are mad about pop music did not fare well in the analysis.

    As well as Beyonce, fans of Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z both ranked at the bottom of the scale.

    Their supporters all got below 1,000 in SAT scores, with the average being a mark of 1071 out of 1600. Fans of composer Beethoven were way ahead of the rest with a score of more than 1300.
