Default Make a guess!

I read a story a while back that gave the IQ's for the following 4 presidents. I will list that presidents and the IQ's to the best of my recollection. Take a stab at matching them up.

1. Reagan
2. Clinton
3. Bush Senior
4. W Bush

A. 90
B. 95
C. 155
D. 160

Just guessingthat you're referring to the Lovastein stuff that has been widely deebunked... http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/presiq.htm

Bush II - 90
Bush I - 95
Reagan - 155
Clinton - 160

That is of course not accurate. Clinton is generally believed to be about 137. Bush II about 125.

That has been thoroughly debunked over the last couple of years. Sorry, please try again.

Besides, 160?! Even if that was Cattell, and not Stanford-Binet, that would be exceptionally high, over 99.5 percentile in fact. If it were S-B, it would amount to 99.99 percentile. We've had some brilliant men in the White House, but come on.

On the other hand 90 is downright ridiculous. W can't articulate himself worth a damn, but he's not some below average idiot.

Yeah, I saw a website that analyzed SAT scores to extrapolate IQ, and Bush II came in at 124. John Kerry at 122. Al Gore came in at 134, and I hit 137... So, yeah, vote for me. I'm smarterthan all of them.

90 is not considered below average, actually in the average range of 90 to 110. 70-90 is considered borderline, 50-55 to 70 mildly MR, 35-40 to 50-55 in Moderately MR, 20-25 to 35-40 is Severe MR and under 20-25 is Profound MR. I hope you have learned something?
I thought that I would give details of the common spectrum of IQ's formany professional athletes.

Average means exactly that, average. The statistical average of IQ measurement is 100, exactly 100.

It's obvious that those figures have no basis in reality. Just meant to be a slur at the Bushes. Whether one agrees with a president or not, he has to be pretty sharp to get there.

I have looked at several IQ tests in my life. The standard tests that 06 have pointed out. They claim that most people miss the boat on getting an accurate measurment as they should be take several times when very young. They claim as you get older, they are very inaccurate and only based off of rote memory. And numbers are meaningless. No, I am no genius. I only scored above average as a child.

I didn't like Clintons politics, and I sure didn't like his creditibiltiy, but you got to respect a Rhodes Scholar. That fact demands respect.
