Why does John Kerry refuse to release his SAT scores? Why does he refuse to release his medical records among other documents?
The supposed comments now circulating since the first debate are again the usual DNC talking points...Bush is dumb..Kerry is a well spoken political genius.
I say prove it. Bring out the SAT scores. Let's get to the bottom of it. Bush has not hid anything..everything is public. Bush's SAT scores are higher than Bill Bradley's, Paul Wellstone's, and reportedly, John Kerry's.
Bush scored a 1206 on his SAT, 566 of 800 on verbal and 640 of 800 on math. [Since the SAT's scale has since been "recentered," Bush's score is more like a 1300 today.Bush's verbal score would place him between the 84th and 92nd percentile of college-bound students, or the 93rd to 97th percentile of ALL high-school seniors taking the exams, the percentile usually used.
His math score would also place him between the 84th and 92nd percentile of college-bound students, or the 94th to 98th percentile of ALL high-school seniors taking the exams, the percentile usually used.
Using one method to extract IQ's from these SAT scores, Bush's IQ would be somewhere between 124 and 137. Hardly a dunce, that's at least in the top six percent of Americans.
We all hear of Bush's supposed college mediocrity, but in reality his "worst" courses were two C-minus scores. Accounting for grade inflation, Bush's worst grades are around today's B-minuses.
Recentered SAT: 1300 IQ: 124-137 Worst inflated grade: B- Stupid: Definately not. Bush Gore Sat scores SAT Percentile Rankings,IQ Scores Implications
Bingo. I doubt sincerely that these numbers are true.
Ain't NO WAY O'Reilly got 1585 nohow.
They did score them differently back in the 1960s' when Bush and I took the S.A.T. Just looked mine up. Got a 589 on math. Always hated math.
I'm not looking for a debater, I'm looking for a doer!
I personally scored a 1560 (800M/760V) at the ripe age of 15 (last year), but I could care less what GWB or JFK scored - their intelligence is reflected a helluva lot better in their actions.
And, under that criteria, Dubya is roughly twice as intelligent as Kerry.
"5. Bar exam score"
I've taken the LSAT. I dare to say his "logic" and poor use of analogies doesn't add up. He's good at wordsmithing, lying and use of the words:
IF
and
BUT (a real favorite).
When you read through the transcript it's a textbook situation of hearing what you want to hear THEN comes the IF and the BUT and CHANGES what you'd want to hear. Most people tune out after hearing what they want to hear so they don't pay attention to the "but" and the "if" qualifiers.
We should but the media ignores any of these requests.
Look at Clinton. We never saw HIS medical reords.
Al Gore- 135.5
You left out the decimal.
"Who flunks God?"
A Pantheist named Al Gore.
I have yet to have a client ask me what I scored on the bar exam, or for that matter what my grades were in law school.
What in the hell are you talking about?
OOOh boy.
Your gonna pissoff a lot of B-folk!
For a 16 yr old..you made more sense in your last sentence than Kerry has the entire year!
We are talking about public relations here...the persona of Bush is that he is a moron and Kerry is a genius and much more well spoken and educated man.
Let's stick to the subject here. Not asking him to release it for the hell of it...just to prove a point is all.
SAT, Smesh Say Tea.
IQ, Schmi Skew
I really don't want to argue high school records of candidates.
Then we'll break any ties by going to elementary school grades.
You could when Bush and I took them. For instance, my math score was 753, an uneven number. Do ask me why, I'm not that good at politically correct math....
Your bottom scores for Kerry, Clinton, Franken, Garafola, Stern are not verified. Your source uses Time.com as their source, but none of these scores are printed in the Time source.
You sure we aren't having our chains jerked to make us look like fools reporting scores that are unverified on Kerry?
I REPEAT to all comers, KERRY and CLINTON's SCORES ARE NOT VERIFIED.
I really want see Tereszaaaa finanical records how much she is worth before marriage of Heniz after dude got killed in that plane crash
I just heard this one from a Democrat I'd love to convert, but don't know how since she relies on MSM.
