For example, Jimmy Carter, the only Naval Academy graduate to serve as president to date, graduated 59th out of a class of 820

Yeah, there are some idiots who manage to pass the bar. Sure they have some smarts but some of them, it is hard to believe.
That line is a keeper for sure. Clever, plus it truly describes Trump.
Jethro was a billionaire, too.
And he was good at cipherin’. He never forgot his aughts.
So did John McCain.
LOL!
Jethro won’t be rich until Uncle Jed passes on! :)
President D.J. Trump is; “BEYOND THE ORDINARY.” He is hated for being that way. His enemies know he is much better than they are. Trump follows his moral compass, loves the United States of America, knows there is a God and, with our help and support, WILL make OUR country great again.
If Obama’s was 145, mine must be around 300.
The guy is very predictable and telegraphs his next moves constantly.
Too bad the GOP leadership has an IQ of 40.
That correlates with my experience and observations. That said, I have observed kids that were not intelligent from a set of parents that were both very intelligent. Finding kids that are very intelligent when both parents are not is a rare thing from what I have seen.
If you think of Obama as a Domestic Enemy and look at the damage he did, your evaluation of his IQ might increase.
Obama prepped us for a Lebanon-style civil war that may yet occur.
“People underestimate him because he sounds and acts like an old man from Brooklyn whose parents didn’t speak English. Um, that is how a lot of Jews talk. They aren’t all dumb. He is so clever and it shows every day.”
I’ve always considered him to be very smart, but much more so after having studied his life and accomplishments (not the least of which are destroying the Bush and Clinton dynasties and becoming POTUS in his first run for political office EVER, and over the opposition of not just the opposition party, but also many in his own party and virtually the entire media.
To paraphrase Yoda: “The mind is strong in this one.”
“I once asked him which exam was more difficult and he said the CPA exam was much tougher. He also said the Florida Bar was one of the harder ones.”
And, yes, the CPA Exam is much harder to pass all at once. Something like 7% of those taking the Exam pass on the first try, vs. upwards of 50% for the Bar (depending on the state - and the CPA Exam is identical in all states, so it doesn’t matter where you take it).
I have no idea what Nancy Pelosi’s IQ may have been in earlier days, but right now she is getting deeper and deeper into full scale dementia. It is obvious.
” I have a high IQ and it didn’t come from my mother! Nor her side of the family. The brains were definitely on my father’s side of the family. NO DOUBT. I don’t need some “scientist” to tell me this.”
My mother’s side is pretty bright, and while my maternal grandmother was no dummy at all, my maternal GF graduated at the top of his high school class (in a heavily Jewish area of NYC where no one was shooting hoops after school) only 5 years after getting off of the boat (literally) without knowing any English. He later got into med school when it was far more difficult for Jews. He later passed the Florida medical boards at age 70 - a test that purposely discriminated against non-residents at the time (the late ‘70s). So how did I get any of his smarts if they pass down from the mother’s side (i.e. my mother would have gotten hers from her mother, NOT her father).
For that matter, my father was also a doctor, having graduated 3rd in his dental school class, among other accomplishments. Many, many musicians (none stupid, a couple a bit famous) on his father’s side of the family. How did any of that get to my father.
I scoff at “studies” like this - there are probably dozens of genes that go into determining one’s potential intelligence, and they are probably inherited from BOTH sides of one’s family. No, I cannot prove it, but it is logical. Look around you: there are a lot of smart men that marry empty-headed but beautiful women (for obvious reasons). Some of their kids end up as smart as Dad, and some are as dumb as a box of hammers (like, presumably, Mom). And, yes, sometimes it works the other way when the mother is smart and the father is some dumb jock.
The truth is that many scientists are SINOs - they don’t use much science, but they can give you a paper with all of the appropriate lingo in it (witness “Global Warming”).
Finally, intelligence is what you make of it - it is potential. I’ll take a 110 IQ person who works up to that potential, vs. a 135 IQ person who sits around and plays literal mind games all day long and accomplishes nothing.
Not if his career as a movie director takes off!
Yaelle - you’ve read a lot about this topic.
I would think by now you would have realized that the purported parents of 0 are other than the mythological ones.
No, I am an Occam’s razor follower. Therefore I definitely believe Obama came from the sperm of BHO Sr and the egg of Stanley Ann. He looks very much like relatives on both sides.
But I know damn well he was born in Canada and not the USA. Again, it’s the easiest explanation.
You have to be very smart to graduate in the top of his class from Wharton Business school!
