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 think Pres. Bush is smarter than me so that means his IQ is above 140. Obama was Harvard Law Review so his IQ is probably higher than 130. I’m just sayin’.”
-He never published an article for the Law Review...hard to believe...my bet is there was an element of popularity and one of color that played a hand in that Law Review selection. That’s not to say he’s dumb, just not sure how far he would have gotten in every facet of his life if he was just another average white guy.
I 1st took a "Tickle" test about 4 years ago, when they were spamming my email. I thought it was interesting and kinda fun (except math, having not ever taken algebra at the time), but I wanted to see if the results were legit, so I took the Mensa test. Results were identical, as was the #1 suggestion for a profession - a politician, LOL.
(Now I know they're full of it)
“I am not sure the LSAT data tell you much. Bambi was probably a legacy admit. (His father was a Harvard alum).”You people are fools. Underestimate Obama's intelligence at your peril. As other FReepers have mentioned Obamba graduate Magna Cum Laude from HLS. You don't do that being a legacy slacker.-great point that has been overlooked thusfar.
PS ~ I am very certain you would be surprised at how well you would do. You’re very perceptive and always have an excellent grasp of the topic you’re discussing - you get HUGE points for that on either test.
Please don’t use the word “fool”. Let’s elevate the dialogue. We said he is smart. That being said, it’s ok to look at all the elements that have gone into Obama’s travel to where he is today. He is bright. He is not God.
I can be precise about Mensa qualification and an LSAT score. Mensa qualification requires a score in the 98th percentile on a test of general intelligence. For instance, old SAT and ACT scores are acceptable, but not scores since about 1990 because these tests have become more about knowledge than IQ.
However, many other widely used tests are still accepted, including the GMAT, MCAT, and LSAT. Mensa normally charges a fee of $40 to evaluate “prior evidence” of these (or other) accepted test scores, which must be either original score report documents or official school transcripts containing the test name and required scores.
The minimum LSAT required is 662 (pre-1982) or 95th percentile after that. The GMAT score required is also 95th percentile. 95th percentile rank on these post-graduate admission tests is equivalent to 98th percentile rank in the general population.
Mensa has a “lawyer special” during the month of August this year. Mensa will evaluate an LSAT score at NO charge.
OBLAHBLAH has charisma - like an actor.
He’s an actor playing a role, reciting lines.
That’s all it is. This low IQ nation has mistaken
a good performance for actual substance.
Johnnycap makes a great point about Obama’s
legacy admission to Harvard through his Father.
Money and connections will get you anywhere.
We’re doomed!
Shadout Mapes :-)
They learned mine early.
I took a battery of tests, including IQ, after the GCT test in boot camp because someone said it is not possible to get a score like that.
The idiot was making silly faces for all to see on the split TV screen when Bush was speaking, and once the idiot walked over to Bush's podium to show he was taller. Bush gave him a puzzled look like what are you doing over here - stupid.
Wow Boats! Thanks for the props!
I’ve learned a lot from you actually.
Nearly every time I have a knowledge /
experience question, you blow me away
with your contributions.
One point above a rock.
He only gets the 1 point for being still above room temperature.
He must have been one of the early ones to be both an affirmative action and a legacy admit.
My dear Ketsu...
Perhaps you’re confused. We don’t
drink koolaid here at Free Republic.
Please don’t use the word “fool”. Let’s elevate the dialogue. We said he is smart. That being said, it’s ok to look at all the elements that have gone into Obama’s travel to where he is today. He is bright. He is not God.lol... this entire thread is a vanity desperately trying to imagine that Obama is stupid. He's not. That's why he's the most dangerous candidate since Wilson(as many have pointed out). All of these fools desperately grasping at the idea that Obama is stupid, so that makes everything right with the world, are exactly that, fools.
It's not matter of "elevating dialogue" or any other PC claptrap. It's the true. Anyone that underestimates Obama or thinks him stupid is a fool.
Shadout Mapes ... “The housekeeper”.
Heck, even Forrest Gump scored too high to get into a Sociology program. Obama and his missus are both from the bottom of the barrel.
[... Anyone that underestimates Obama or thinks him stupid is a fool...]
No one here said anything about underestimating Obama, except you.
Being stupid and dangerous are all too common. We get that.
My husband is smart, a republican, and a good leader.
I just think there are other things besides IQ. There are lots of smart people around. I don’t agree with Obama on anything, so I don’t really care what his IQ is.
