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.
I know a couple of Mensa people. Altho we are good friends — I’m not impressed.
My wife just asked me, from the other room, what is so funny. I have the feeling she would understand.
Based on the fact that he doesn’t/didn’t know how many states are in the Union (which I and a nephew I recently asked both knew by age 8), I’ll hazard a guess that Hussein’s verbal SAT would have been a bit higher than his math SAT.
Any guesses?
“Woodrow Wilsons IQ was possibly the highest of any President”
I think JFK had the correct appraisal of that subject:
‘At a 1962 dinner for 49 Nobel laureates, President John F. Kennedy quipped that the event was “the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever gathered at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”’
[... Woodrow Wilsons IQ was possibly the highest of any President, and he
gave us the income tax, the Fed, US entry into WWI, the League of Nations ...]
Stop! That’s frightening!
My guess is under 120. That’s just not
acceptable if you are the Quissats Haderat.
He was editor of the Law Review and graduated magna cum laude. I don't know if that qualifies him for Mensa, but clearly he's easily smart enough to be dangerous.
If Obama isn’t that smart, anyone who calls attention to this will be labeled “racist!”
If his IQ is not known, why not just make up a number? Look at that bogus report many years ago that said GWB’s IQ was lower than average. The media picked up on that and trumpeted this phone story. Turns out it was a big hoax and the “institute” that released the story never existed.
I’m surprised Obama’s camp hasn’t already said his IQ is 150 or something astronomically high. After all, they enjoy making up falsehoods about their candidate to make him look good. And who is going to go digging for the real truth, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSN etc? Ha ha.
You mean he actually has one? ;-)
Oh... My... Gosh! “Being There” is about Barack Obama!
I totally missed that movie because Peter Sellers gives me the
creeps. I’ll have to rent the movie now.
"I've met the Quissats Haderat. And Nobama aint't no Haderat."
Perhaps Obama is a MAD Haderat?
Do you mean Kwisatch haderach?
I’m surprised Hillary hasn’t latched onto
this. She could reverse the nomination if
she exposed his phony pedigree and vague
credentials.
All haderats go mad! It’s all that looking into the future and finding the golden path that get’s you.
Isn’t it the truth?
Amazing!
Kwisatch Haderach - yes! I always forget how
to spell it, so instead of looking it up, I spell it
phonetically. Give me a break ... I am only the
Shadat Mapes.
OK, let’s give this a try...I am Mensa qualified (143) and scored a 48 out of 50 on the old LSAT (the one Barack actually took), which was in the 97th percentile. Now that I have crowed about my credentials, since we applied to Law School the same year, I know something of the processes back then. Harvard still accepted the LSAT back then (though shortly thereafter it became optional). I don’t think the LSAT translates to IQ score or Mensa well.
Given all that, the tell tale evidence on Barack’s raw skills lies in the acceptance and matriculation to Occidental Collge in Los Angeles. Punahou is Hawaii’s best high school. The era was the height of affirmative action. If he had the goods back then, he could have easily done better than Occidental which is ranked by US News & World Reports on the much smaller Liberal Arts list at number 36 (list does not include the majors or the ivys). My guess is an IQ in the low 120s and an SAT between 1100-1200 (largely on the strength of the verbal) and an LSAT score between 39 and 41 (old test). That is where my smart, African American friends back in law school fell. One was a Princeton grad who may have actually been there with Michelle Obama (early to mid 80’s). It’d be interesting to see how close I am to pegging this.
