Bush is a smart guy, he just has a problem speaking at times. Not too toot my own horn, but I am something like that, with an estimated (via SAT and GRE scores) IQ of 135, but when I get nervous, I come across like a total idiot. At my best, I am not nearly as good as Bush when he is on the campaign trail..
"estimated (via SAT and GRE scores) IQ of 135, but when I get nervous, I come across like a total idiot"
I find that a bit of a paradox.
I am the same, may IQ which was recently tested scored 160 of course it was the VA so I am not certain how exact they are. But anyways I tend to get ahead of myself or overthink a question, being exact is not my strong suit. Many tiames when I write I tend to race ahead in it, by the time I am finished I may have written one illegible sentence that may have originally was meant to be a paragraph or a whole dissertation, at least my mind told me it was.
Thanks for saying something with which lots of people can identify. Like your FR profile, too.
Same here. I graduated first in my college class with a perfect 4.0 GPA and consistantly test high when it comes to IQ..but in certain situations come across as a total lug-head.
I have been known for cursing out, insulting and even physically attacking people (especially in my younger years) who make me angry. Especially lying liberal holes.
By the way, the liberal professors who gave me straight A grades seemed to like my solid convictions and never give up work ethic :)
I always thought I was pretty sharp. When I was a kid they gave my class an IQ test. A few days later the same guy who administered the test came by to take the "gifted" kids off to some sort of secret government program. I was packing up my books and readying my things as the names were being read off the list. Needless to say I was completely shocked when he skipped by my name. I thought there must have been a mistake. Still do. :-)
I can totally relate. Depending on the test, I have scored between 132 and 152. However, I think at a different speed than I speak or write and often find stupid things spewing out of my mouth. I always use myself as an example when liberals I know talk about the stupid things Bush says. I've learned to keep quiet and choose my words carefully when first meeting people. Unfortunately, poor W doesn't quite have that option.
