So far the internet provides little to no information about Obama's IQ Score, his college transcripts from Harvard, his GPA, his SAT or LSAT scores. Could Obama actually be as dumb as Al Gore? Wait... that's not possible. We know that Obama has less experience than a Home Owner's Association President, but could he have an IQ to match? Help me out if you find information about his IQ and other test scores. Thanks.
Thanks for the ping.
A lively discussion - and I enjoyed reading all the opinions - measurement of IQ is as vague and open to interpretation as what kind of hair a person has been endowed with.
Even articles trying to explain “what IQ is” confuses -
I have always used my own golden rule. It’s what one does with one’s innate intellect and how one overcomes one’s lack of it is the true measure of a person’s ability to function in our world.

I agree that the man is very smart, far smarter than the masses of Demonrat voters and most of the sheeple constituting the “swing vote.” What many people call flip-flopping is really a cunning effort to hide his extreme leftist views in order to get elected. We are indeed in extreme danger.
I am aware of his law school record. But I also cannot help but notice the number of times that he gets simple facts wrong. This is not a characteristic of extremely intelligent people. Mitt Romney and John Roberts just do not do this the way Obama does.
I am standing by my estimate of 130 max, which incidentally, is pretty damn smart. That's 2 SD above the white mean, which would put 95% of the white population below him.
Romney's IQ is way higher, as is Roberts'.
We need to develop a new IQ test. I’ll start with question number one. When marginal tax rates are lowered do they increase or decrease revenues to the government?
When I was in first grade the entire class was given an age-appropriate (I assume) IQ test. They never told my mom what my score was, but it was higher than most. I think there might have been a couple of others besides me, who scored in the same neighborhood. We were all called, individually, to the principal’s office and interviewed with a representative from the testing service. They asked me if my parents went to college, a lot of stuff that to a first-grader seemed out there. I had no clue why I was being grilled.
Later in highschool we had IQ tests and my score was 147. I suppose such personal data can be useful, but it’s so subjective. In our town we had a long-time employee (now deceased) with a reputed IQ of around 190. He was basically a gofer — an alcoholic, legally-blind and happy with his lot.
So who’s to say.
I’m not too impressed with SC either.
My alumni friend didn’t even attend
school on campus. She got her Masters’
in some satellite course. Pretentious
if your ask me. She is all ape about
the football team. Attends EVERY local
game and is a booster. It’s crazy.
[... I thought it was well established that BHO’s number is 666...]
You’re killin’ me with that beastly remark. LOL!
Oh lookie, a thread to let people brag about themselves. They can’t help themselves. In the internet make believe land no less!
[... Anyone who cannot put a sensible sentence
together without a teleprompter (snip) is an IDIOT!...]
You are .... umm .... spot .... er .... on!
For that matter John Adams wife was way up there too.
They really can be deceptive.
I have taught kids with IQ's in the 90's who excel, and kids with IQ's in the 140's who flounder.
I guess it is all in how you use what you have.

Just wanted to make sure Packerboy got this message.
A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none, But knowledge is
easy to one who has understanding. — Proverbs 14:6 —
History has tried hard to teach us that we can’t have good
government under politicians. Now, to go and stick one at
the very head of the government couldn’t be wise.

Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856—February 3, 1924),[1] was the twenty-eighth President of the United States. A devout Presbyterian, and leading intellectual of the Progressive Era, he served as President of Princeton University and then became the Governor of New Jersey in 1910. Wilson is to date the only president from New Jersey. With Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft dividing the Republican Party vote, Wilson was elected President as a Democrat in 1912. He proved highly successful in leading a Democratic Congress to pass major legislation that included the Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Underwood Tariff, the Federal Farm Loan Act and most notably the Federal Reserve System. [2][3]Not only was he part of the creation of the League of Nations, but also the Treaty of Versailles... isn't that regularly blamed as the cause of WWII.
Narrowly re-elected in 1916, his second term centered on World War I. He tried to maintain U.S. neutrality, but when the German Empire began unrestricted submarine warfare he wrote several admonishing notes to Germany, and eventually asked Congress to declare war on the Central Powers. He focused on diplomacy and financial considerations, leaving the waging of the war primarily in the hands of the military establishment. On the home front, he began the first effective draft in 1917, raised billions in war funding through Liberty Bonds, imposed an income tax, enacted the first federal drug prohibition, set up the War Industries Board, promoted labor union growth, supervised agriculture and food production through the Lever Act, took over control of the railroads, and suppressed anti-war movements. He paid surprisingly little attention to military affairs, but provided the funding and food supplies that helped the Americans in the war and hastened Allied victory in 1918.
