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 am generally unimpressed with Obama’s scholarship.”
He was magna cum laude at Harvard Law School; that means top 10% of the graduating class. By way of comparison, two other Harvard Law grads with the same distinction are Chief Justice John Roberts and Mitt Romney.
Obama is very intelligent. But his personal character and background are also very disturbing. He is a very dangerous man.
OBAMA THINKS ONLY ONE BOMB FELL ON PEARL HARBOR... SNORT!

A “legacy” is someone from an alumni family that contributes money. That’s not Obama.
His race surely helped his admission, but then he graduated in the top 10% of his class. That’s not easy to do.
Obama is very smart, and very dangerous!
I remember taking a tickle test,
but I don’t remember the results.
My husband was invited to join MENSA.
He thought about joining because it
would look good on his resume. After
passing the test and attending a few
meetings he found most of them were
dry geeks.
Apologies to any MENSA in the audience.
According to Wikipedia, Mitt Romnaey only graduated cum laude from HLS, although this is sufficiently impressive since he was in a joint program with HLS and Harvard Business School, and he did very well at the business school as well.
My friend attended USC. Her daughter is intellectually slow,
but because of her mother’s financial support to the college, her
daughter will be admitted.
Hmmmm. How do we know no alumni family contributed money?
I suppose we’re not disputing his grades or where he ranked.
We’re musing about his actual IQ and admissions test scores.
Mitt was in a law / business joint degree program. On the Business School side, he graduated in the top 5%, making him a Baker Scholar. He also got 1600 (old scale) on his SATs.
By the way, that kids-iq-tests.com site is worthless. It pegs Mitt's IQ at 122. Um, I don't think so.
Obama is very intelligent. But his personal character and background are also very disturbing. He is a very dangerous man.
This is true.
JUST FOR GIGGLES... Free IQ Tests!

No problem. I couldn’t resist though. ;-) You take care.

Those test sites are great opportunities to sign up your favorite telemarketing acquaintances for all kinds of mortgage, magazine, and vacation offers. :)
Great point, and IMO relflective of the thread's topic.
What kind of smarts does the man from O have?
Can he multiply 3 figure numbers by 5 figures and then give you the square root before you can eat a carrot? I doubt it, but so what if he could?
Is he knowledgable about economics, history, and knows foreign leaders on a 1st name basis?
When he gives speaches is he pausing every 3rd word for effect or is he stuttering because he's calculating what sort of message will bowl over the majority of targets sitting in front of him?
Is he smart enough to know that being honorable stays with you every day, and being dishonorable will hound you for life (ask John F'n)?
There's many more types of smarts that he's brushed past on his way to "glory" than he's learned from what I can see.
The one thing he's practiced at is playing people for chumps.
He's a con man. Nothing more.
Thanks for the conversation, I gotta hit the hay.
;~)
Okay, I’m finding these sources more than a bit questionable. A 1206 SAT, while not bad, is not nor has it been in the 95th-percentile of test takers.
With the old SATs that Bush would have taken, a 600 on both verbal and math would convert to a 670 verbal and a 600 in math on the new scale. That’s a 1270 SAT score. Decent. But probably not good enough to get him into a top 25 school today without some serious connections.
Just as a reference, the average 25th-75th percentiles at Emory University are 1300-1470. At Yale, where Bush did his undergraduate work, they’re 1390 - 1580.
Granted, things are a lot more competitive today with more emphasis on standardized tests, but I’m pretty doubtful about these conversions.
That’s not a knock on Bush, but on the surface, I’m not convinced.
You think the LSAT is a poor indicator of intelligence? Of all the standardized tests I’ve taken, I think it’s probably the best. It’s pure logic with no knowlege required. Lots of problem solving and lots of inference.
I’d say it’s a far better indicator than the SAT, the ACT, the GRE, or the MCAT, anyway.
SC football players are the best that money can buy.
I played ball in High School with a guy that graduated with 26 Ds and the coach had to plead with the teachers for halfof those.
He went to SC and graduated, paid for with a scolarship, given a new car, and a do nothing job that gave him a salary to live on.
I thought it was well established that BHO’s number is 666
Well Jo, uh..... let me tell you uh........ I really don’t uh........ know what an IQ uh.......... score really is, but uh....... I’ll get back uh......... to you when uh........... I talk to uh........... my campaign staff in uh.................. all 57 states and uh ............. see what they uh.............. say an IQ score is.
Anyone who cannot put a sensible sentence together without a teleprompter and uses uh a hundred million times has his/her IQ posted with a decimal point in front of the first zero. In my books, this guy is an IDIOT.
