The funny thing about Carter is, being a nyukular engineer, he pronounced the word the same way that the leftards make fun of Bush for.

This is an old, old, old hoax.

Why resurrect it?

We had to rely more heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public speaking."

WEll. I think this methodology is a bit suspect, to say the least. But if that is the criteria they used, then it's not difficult to see how GWB looks like he is as dumb as a bag of hammers.

He's not. But communication is not his strong point.

I'm thinking that this is a test put together by Clinton groupies, seeing as he comes out at the top - ahead of JFK, of course, but JFK still fares well. Riiiiiiiight.

There is another survey which analyzes the IQ of people who assume that everything they receive in email "must be true".

BTW, I have an excellent Nigerian investment opportunity for you my FRiend, it will require several thousand dollars to bribe Nigerian security officials who are holding millions in a trunk in Lagos, but if you're game to be a millionaire, I might let you in on the deal, what do you say? ;)

This was debunked YEARS ago but it doesn't stop Bush bashers like Donald Trump from believing the nonsense and quoting it as if it were reality.

176 James E. Carter (D)

Anyone who produced a study that comes up with a result such as this really needs help. For me the first sign of intelligence is the absence of stupid statements, not the use of big works or interest in erudite subjects. Carter is a mental midget.

Mensa equates pre-1980 military GCT test scores to IQ. Therefore, it should be easy to determine whether Carter, the Bushes, and Kerry are in the top 2% in terms of IQ. (Oh, yeah, I forgot; Kerry won't release his GCT test score.)

So where should I send my SSN and my checking account number and routing number? (I was fooled, I admit it and I'm embarrassed.)

Carter was near the top of his Naval Academy class

He finished in the top 8% of his class at Annapolis in 1945 (59th out of 820), but this number should be judged against the fact that he was a transfer student who was able to import grades from the much less demanding Georgia Southwestern into his total grade average, and against the fact that many top candidates who would normally have graduated Annapolis in 1945 were serving in the Pacific fleet instead.

It was a very special year with very special circumstances.

After graduation he chose to continue his studies rather than follow most of his classmates to the Pacific theater.

and was able to pick nuclear subs

It would be pretty tough to pick nuclear subs before they existed.

He never did serve on a nuclear sub, since he resigned from the program before he was scheduled to complete it. The first nuclear sub was launched two years after he resigned from the Navy.

He only took a few months of postgraduate physics (studies he abandoned not long after V-E day) and never served on a nuclear submarine.

yet until this day the myth persists among many that he was a nuclear physicist who was instrumental in the founding of America's nuclear submarine program.

This is an old hoax.

Here's an excerpt from the original version (before it was cleaned up, for use as propaganda):

"Dr. Lovenstein lives in a mobile home in Scranton, Pennsylvania with his long time companion Patricia F. Dilliams. When the two are not publishing reports for their Lovenstein Institute, they run an internet business www.collegedegreesforsale.com."

See post 34. Carter was never a nuclear engineer. But he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.

C'mon...this is the stupidest thing I've ever read. People with 91 IQ's don't graduate from Yale AND Harvard! This has been debunked numerous times.

Is there any correlation to post-1980 military GT scores?

Jimmy Carter has an IQ of 176?

Well what do you know? All the skeptics of the validity of IQ testing were right.
