Obamas would score about 105 on the GT score and 0 on any mechanical aptitude category. I doubt the guy can change a tire.
Interesting.
Ted Cruz 2016!
” “Does anyone in America doubt that Kerry has a higher IQ than Bush?” “
Yes in fact I think Kerry is a moron and would not do well on any test. He has an inflated ego and sense of entitlement but that doesn’t equal intelligence
And since they give no rankings I am going to assume that Reagan must have been a man with a very high IQ since he was such a great president. That or it could be he was great because like other great presidents he was a man of fundamental principles
Garfield was certainly very smart...unfortunately his term was cut very short by either an assassin or a very bad Doctor, depending upon whom you ask.
What is so important about an IQ, when we live in a world where a constant line BS rules and wins elections?
Kennedy wasn’t that smart. He was rich and connected. Hell, he didn’t even write his own college thesis.
Bill Clinton: His SAT Score at 1032 which translates to an IQ of 110. However, his actual IQ is probably closer to 137. There is no need to argue his IQ. We know that Bill is indeed an intelligent former president.In other words, if it doesn't fit their preconceived notion, FUDGE the conclusion.
They based W's IQ on his SAT scores and came up 123. . . but Clinton's lower score had to be adjusted upwards to give him a much higher IQ than Bush. After all, he's a Democrat, and obviously all Democrats have to smarter than Republicans.
The above comments are referencing another presidential IQ study that the four listed below, all of which show a distinct liberal bias in my opinion:
I’ve always said that libs tend to mistake “glibness” for intelligence. Bush stumbled around on some of his words, in addition to not believing liberal orthodoxy, so he was stupid. Clinton could spin a yarn so he was smart. I have no idea on what basis one could call Obama intelligent. Normally one at least has college transcripts that allow you to infer something one way or the other, but we don’t even have that with him. I agree that I think he’s of average intelligence who knows how to work the system (or has a handler who does). I am confident I would beat him on any true intelligence test, as I’m sure about half of the Freerepublic community would.
I do believe it should be BOTH. Guiteau was the undoubted prime cause but the incompetent medical treatment (not just Doctors) was the unfortunate "coup de grâce!"
^this. this is precisely the goal of these sorts of articles.
ACT of 36, 138 GT Score in 9th grade. I’d be a terrible president.
“In other words, if it doesn’t fit their preconceived notion, FUDGE the conclusion.”
What?
Liberals wouldn’t gruber us. Would they?
JFK’s IQ recorded at Choate was 119.
This seems pretty stupid. Its totally subjective to say what president is productive. And Its also impossible to determine the IQ f a person dead for over 200 years.
I disagree with their assessments of how intelligent ex-presidents were. And I disagree with their gauge of past presidential productivity.
Obama in effect says “More Socialism is the answer!” and the (conservative) Republicans say in reply, “NO!!!” I think they understand Obama perfectly!;)
The studies I’ve read show a poor correlation between education and intelligence (unless your field is math or physics, and even then it’s not a perfect correlation). And that’s only one obvious flaw in this “historiometric approach.”
This article seems to be BS.
I have an IQ of 154. I understand Obama completely. He’s not that smart and certainly not qualified to be president.
Profiles In Courage demonstrates that Kennedy’s ghostwriter was pretty sharp.
