Seems to me those presidents with high IQs ended up getting this country into wars where thousands of Americans were killed.

"In my opinion, Thomas Jefferson was the best president of all, as well as the most intelligent. But he was a slaveowner who really didn't know much about politics or history. His ideas on how to run a country were mostly wrong."
Don't bother to put history in context, just spout any stupid thing that comes into your head.

Clinton had one of the highest IQs and was a Rhodes scholar, and even his enemies agree he was a very good president. Say what?!

What's really scary about this is, that unlike the 'Lowenstein' hoax of 2000, this guy really exists and has made a career of guessing IQs and pushing for a meritocracy where only the brilliant would rule.
No surprise that this clown is supported by UC Davis and the taxpayers of California.

So much for junk science. The article makes reference to earlier efforts to assign IQs to famous people long dead .... at least one of them, whose IQ assignments were widely quoted, used a method which was hardly mentioned and pretty much rips up its credibility: The primary reason for raising the IQ rating was the sheer number of stories about the celebrity's
childhood; if there were lots of stories - even unsubstantiated and doubtful - about his childhood achievements, then his IQ score went up up up, but if there was a shortage of stories of his childhood, even if only because nobody in his family or hometown bothered to write about his childhood even though it might have been eventful, then he was doomed to be kept near the average.
I cannot fathom the logic behind this list, including a rating that makes Nixon and Reagan equals, and several other odd ratings. One very important fact, and I think most people of any political stripe might agree, is that a President's abilities become apparent in the right circumstances. A President whose term coincided with a famine might have gotten a different rating altogether if his term had been blessed with good weather.

Exactly. You would think genius Kings would have seen a few things coming, like revolutions, public beheading, you know, and act accordingly.
Exactly how clever was, for our Expert on Departed IQs, the late George III ? Or Louis the 16th ?

Clinton was the worst, while the world burned and plotted; he was getting serviced by monica. Clinton was asleep at the switch from day one. But then again such trolls need to lie to themselves, it is all they have left. The lies.

The called up 1000 people and asked them what they thought was the IQ of the various presidents and then averaged them.

I'm becoming quite curious : what is "French-looking" ? Welcome to FR!
"French looking" began as term of derision, directed at Presidential candidate, John F'n Kerry. While Kerry, who I hear served in Vietnam, has some Irish features and an Irish name, he recently discovered that he was half Jewish.
Then he and the ketchup heiress started defending the French and bragging how they both spoke French. Some one in Washington, perhaps the White House, commented that he looked 'French'. This of course was going on while the French government was working against us while we were seeking UN approval for the war in Iraq.
Now, 'French looking' is part of the FR vernacular, like calling someone a 'Clymer'.
Just don't ask me to explain 'Breck Girl'.

Exactly ! Exactly ! I hate my late kings ! They let Americans out-dumb them and now the USA is on top of the world! That was bloody unfair, having such dumb Presidents, you know ! Shame on you ! (Chuckle)

This is commonly used to distort the credibility of President Bush as in Bush is an idiot
or Bush is stupid.The facts reveal just the opposite. President Bush graduated from
Yale in 1968 and then from Harvard in 1975. In fact, his SAT scores of 1206
566, verbal;
640, math, overwhelmingly placed him in the 95-98 percentile of all Americans taking the
SATs. Although SAT scores and IQ scores do not coincide perfectly, Bush's SAT score
would roughly project to an IQ in the
125-130 range.
