July 18, 2006 Parting Shot
Nate wrote this at 8:56 am:
In six years in the White House, George W. Bush has screwed up so many things, you have to wonder: Is he unlucky or incompetent?
Well, now we know.
Thanks to the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, which just released a study of the IQ of twelve American presidents, over the last 50 years. And the results are well, not surprising.
The average IQ of six Republican presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43 was 115.5. President Nixon topped the list, at 155.
The average IQ of six Democratic presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton was 156. With President Clinton leading the class at 182.
The smartest president of the last 50 years?
You guessed it: Bill Clinton, with his 182 IQ.
The least intelligent president of the last 50 years?
You guessed it again: George W. Bush, with his rock bottom IQ of 91: seven points lower than his Daddy.
So now we know. Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Social Security, Medicare, Stem Cells, FEMA, the deficit, immigration
The reason George Bush has screwed up in so many areas the last six years.
Hes not just incompetent. Hes just plain dumb the dumbest president in the last 50 years. And, probably, the dumbest president ever!
Thats my parting shot for today. Im Bill Press.

Well. An IQ of 182 is nearly *six* full standard deviations above the mean Caucasian IQ of 100. To get an idea of the idiocy of this "study," one need only remind oneself that the two most intelligent ethnic groups on the planet - the Ashkenazi Jews and the Hmong - are lucky to manage two full standard deviations.
What outright stupidity.

The smartest president of the last 50 years? Perhaps talking on the phone and being, uh, otherwise engaged at the same time appears to be the epitome of intelligence to Mr. Press.

President Bush could even hope to function as President at 92.Would you believe the USAF would have an Officer flying around in jet fighters
who didn't score well on that battery of tests all military folks had to take?

Have a look at this chart: http://www.eskimo.com/~miyaguch/combnorm.html.
It shows that Clinton's reported 182 IQ is at the 99.999985 percentile, or 5.13 sigma for the statisticians. Methinks BC's intellect is just a tad overstated.
