Interesting SAT/IQ conversion chart.
Out of curiosity, when was this chart published? Also, what’s the source—there’s a lot of precision—perhaps false precision—in carrying the estimates out to a couple of decimal points.
I ask about “when” because I’ve heard it stated that current SAT scoring is some 50 + points more generous than the scoring of a generation ago. “It was harder in the old days!”
A lot of pols are surprisingly limited in general intelligence, but they usually have exceptional motivation, opportunities, and/or other (e.g., ‘people’) skills. And yeah, W was probably smarter than Al.
Likewise, CEOs in the business world are usually intelligent, but unless they are in a high-intelligence sector, such as technology or healthcare, they tend not to be exceptionally so.
Also, I don't see the Bush and Gore data points below your chart. your chart.
