"Cool it, everybody! I just sent Press an email from Nigeria and I'm gonna get rich!"
LOL!
:0)
Ah, yes. I know people with that and it even clouds their ability at work.
that number for Clinton is wrong, when I took those IQ tests it said that i was in the top 1% and i averaged out between 130 - 145 ...
I have no doubt they are. That was an Einstein level IQ. Billy Jeff is no Einstein.
God bless Bill Press...because in the prison rodeo that is the left these days, somebody has to be the clown.
TRUTH? WHO CARES? ACCURACY? WHO GIVES A DAMN?
The LameStream Media are fools.
You guessed it: Bill Clinton, with his 182 IQ.
Smart guys are always thinking of new things to put up interns butts.
We need a Snope for Snopes!
It IS rich, isn't it?
But Hillary Rodham vos Savant Clinton has an IQ of 230, making her the smartest woman in the world.
What, interns?
95% of the population has an IQ below 125, but I've yet to meet anyone who believes himself a member of that group :)
LOL!

Instant Messaging Intelligence Quotient (IM IQ) http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0148.html 3.1 Discover Another User's IM IQBefore chatting with another user over the network or adding that user to one's Jabber roster, it can be helpful to get a sense of how intelligent or unintelligent that person is. This is done by requesting the person's IM IQ from that person's server by sending an IQ get qualified by the 'jabber:iq:iq' namespace to the person's bare JID (user@host) rather than full JID (similar in this regard to the functionality of vcard-temp [2]). Example 1. Requesting Someone's IM IQ <iq type='get' from='kindanormal@example.com/IM' to='stupidnewbie@example.com' id='imiq1'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:iq'/> </iq> The server then returns the person's IM IQ, expressed as a REQUIRED <num/> integer between zero and 256, and an OPTIONAL <desc/> containing a natural-language descriptive phrase associated with that range of integer values. Example 2. Receiving Someone's IM IQ <iq type='result' from='stupidnewbie@example.com' to='kindanormal@example.com/IM' id='imiq1'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:iq'> <num>66</num> <desc>moron</desc> </query> </iq> 3.2 Discovering One's Own IM IQIn order for a user to discover his or her own IM IQ, the user sends an IQ get without any 'to' address. Example 3. Requesting One's Own IM IQ <iq type='get' id='myiq'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:iq'/> </iq> Example 4. Receiving One's Own IM IQ <iq type='result' id='myiq'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:iq'> <num>83</num> <desc>dull</desc> </query> </iq> A user may not agree with his or her IM IQ as computed by the server (after all, everyone thinks they are above average). Therefore it is possible that a user may attempt to change his or her IM IQ by sending an IQ set to the server: Example 5. Attempting to Set One's Own IM IQ <iq type='set' id='myiq'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:iq'> <num>143</num> <desc>genius</desc> </query> </iq> However, allowing users to change their own IM IQs is unacceptable, since it would make such information unreliable. Therefore, if a server receives such an IQ set, it MUST return a <not-allowed/> error to the user, and MAY further decrement the user's IM IQ as a result.

They also debunked the GHWB legend about George at the grocery store scanner.
"the New York Times had a piece just prior to the 2004 elections showing an expert on IQ testing believes ... Al Gore's [IQ is] about 115."
On a slightly different track, as I recall, poor old AlGore Jr. was a legacy admission to Harvard, where he excelled at being quite stupid. Among other things, he made a D in elementary physics and his classmates tagged him with the nickname "Bonehead." I also understand that it almost broke AlGore Sr. to keep the kid in school.
Good point. Having wasted time listening/watching Bill Press, I don't think he is near the eastern slope of the IQ distribution.
Well, I guess Bill Press is the moron, having fallen for a hoax that was exposed long ago. But even if all these IQ stats were true, it is a fallacy to claim that bad policy necessarily follows from a low IQ, and good policy from a high IQ. In fact, you'd have to be kind of stupid to think that.
Always take the Gipper's sage advice: Trust but Verify. I make sure I do the same thing with anything I read on blogs or on FR.
