> John Quincy Adams - IQ 168.8 <
The mere fact that they are reporting IQs to the tenth of a point make this whole thing - in my opinion - laughable.
So John Quincy Adams’s IQ is 168.8. Not 168.7 and not 168.9. That’s just making stuff up.
Dude was brilliant tho..
John Quincy Adams spoke Russian—the only president do so. I adminre any English-speaker who learns that language, which seems to have been deliberately designed to be so full of complexities, idioms and anomalies that no outsider can learn it. Herbert Hoover learned Mandarin Chinese, one of the toughest languages for an English-speaker to learn. Thomas Jefferson spoke French, German, Dutch and Spanish. And several presidents spoke Greek and Latin.
