I read somewhere that they compared IQ test results with SAT and GRE score results from the same person, over a number of individuals, and very roughly, your IQ can be estimated as 1/10 of your SAT or GRE scores (PRE "re-centered" scores, I think those are scores from before 1995. Post 1995 scores should be adjusted first to pre 1995 scores).
I guess that Friday night of partying before taking the SAT on a Saturday didn't help after all - my (1991) SAT scores were 1240, while my IQ is between 138 and 145 (informal tests only). Oh well, if I thought intelligence were that important in the presidency, I would abstain from voting altogether. But *wisdom*... Bush has that in spades, and that's the key to leadership.
"But no matter how hard I tried, it was hard to ignore the fact that the Republicans were far more right on the issues than the Democrats. Socially, I became more conservative as I realized the importance of cultural values.
This is almost the way I see things. When you think about it, cultural values (i.e. belief in God etc.) should be a high priority to libertarians. Even if they themselves are agnostic or atheist. Just think of how much we would save in taxes by reducing the budgets for police and other social control institutions. People would be much more inclined to behave themselves if they believed that God's omni presence was gazing on them and that they would have to go before Him on judgement day.
