Despite your insulting remarks, the number I quoted came from a television show that was looking for the smartest kid in the USA. I watched it before this election cycle but the number stuck in my head. One of the first results that comes up in an Internet search this morning is this from a columnist who says he is the one who revealed in a 2004 New York Times article that George Bush had a higher IQ than John Kerry. So he is probably a more credible source than the TV show. About Donald Trump's IQ he says,
“Donald Trump graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and anthropology. Mensa doesn't accept SAT scores from after 1994. However Mr Trump was a student at Wharton when it was possible to derive an accurate IQ core from known SAT scores. Given the usual requirements for admission to a top school like Wharton, I estimate that Mr. Trump has a 156 IQ at the minimum.
The standard description of this level of intelligence is “Genius – Exception intellectual ability and capable of looking beyond known facts.” However, the percentile rating is more revealing than the raw score. A 156 IQ is at the 99.9905490555 percentile. That means that Donald Trump is smarter than 99.99 percent of the people on planet earth. Not only does Trump qualify for membership in Mensa but he could join the Triple Nine Society.”
There are so many mistakes and leaps in logic in that paragraph that it's almost not worth responding, but here goes:
1. The idea that one can extrapolate a person's SAT score from nothing more than the college they attended, and then extrapolate their IQ from that estimated SAT score, is laughable. There are too many things that factor into college admissions to make that kind of assumption. For example, Trump's father was an extremely wealthy guy, with substantial business and political contacts--is it possible those connections helped Trump get in? Who knows.
2. The inaccuracy/unreliability of the estimate based on college admissions (as pointed out in #1) is especially true in Trump's case, as he did not even go to Wharton straight out of high school. He went to Fordham for two years, then transferred. SAT scores are significantly less relevant in transfer admissions, and many transfer applicants are people who could not have gotten in initially. So, if you are even going to make the leap from a college's admissions standards to assume the SAT score (and thus IQ) of a particular student, the school you should be looking at in Trump's case is Fordham, not Wharton.
3. Wharton does not offer anthropology degrees. And, the idea that Trump trnasferred in and completed a dual degree in two years is laughable. And, not a single other source claims that he has an anthropology degree. So, not sure where the author got that.
