As a teenager, Trump (center) attended the New York Military Academy. He then entered Fordham University before transferring to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, as it was one of the few places that offered real estate studies.

This is utter garbage. There is no freakin’ way that Joe Biden that 3+ standard deviations above average intelligence. In his best day, the guy might have been 105-110. Tops.

JFK was tested at Harvard. His score was 119.

This is most assuredly BS.

JFK was running for president when I arrived here to work on my masters degree in engineering. IDK about his IQ, but he was one of the most charismatic on TV interviews with a wonderful sense of humor during his presidency. I enjoyed watching his frequent news events with the media.

JFK also got a tax-cut passed (for businesses) which helped recover from the recession in 1962.

IQ score depends on the test. On some tests the genius leel score is 130. On others 160. Score is meaningless unless there’s a way to conciliate the different scores. Mensa uses the standard of a score in the top 2 percent on any standardized test. That said, this report is BS. There’s no reliable way of measuring an IQ from two centuries ago.

Yes.

Pretty much the point of the OP I copied and pasted.

Glad to see we are in agreement ;-)

Where do they get these numbers? They seem impossibly high.

I rank smarts by how successfully a person lives life. A person who consistently makes poor decisions that detrimentally effect his life is not smart, no matter how many IQ points he might have.

I agree. Barack Obama is a good example of that. I will give him benefit of doubt on IQ test but Barack can not run a lemonade stand and make profit.

IMHO most important is common sense. Wish there was a test to measure common sense. It is what I used throughout my working years, with great dividends.

FDR was considered a dolt.

Personally, I doubt we've ever had any president whose IQ was as high as 130.

It is called guesstimate based on your political preference.

The Adamses were indeed highly educated. That didn’t make them successful in politics. Sometimes formal education can get in the way of practical learning.

But they give Trump a 156? Why did they do that?

And they give Adams such a high score. (I don't believe they even had IQ tests then.)

If Adams is so smart, why couldn't he find a real job?

And call BS on any IQ score before the first modern intelligence test in IQ history was developed in 1904, by Alfred Binet (1857-1911) and Theodore Simon (1873-1961).

1. Learn to recognize and avoid clickbait articles that promise enticing information to make you click through many pages.

2. Distrust all studies by psychologists, especially where politics is concerned.

3. Remember the phony Lovenstein Institute hoax. Can it really be 20 years since then?

Just propaganda. Jimmy, Bathhouse Barry and Uncle Joe are lucky to break 75 with a leading decimal point.

Either that score is complete BS, or it tells us just how far Biden has declined.

Poor Joe.
A few more IQ points, and the little girls he adores will start laughing at him for being dumber than they are.

I seem to recall that Biteme was the Bracket under the bottom 1% of his classes. If being a liar and a fraud indicates IQ, Biden beats John Quincy.
