Default George W. Bush I.Q

Here are the actual numbers!

Quote:
"The intelligence of our presidents has never been seriously scrutinized at any time in our history until now. There is a widespread perception that President G. W. Bush is not qualified for the position he holds. That increasing awareness by the people has led to a study of the intellectual ability of all presidents for the past fifty years. There have been twelve presidents in that time, from F. D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush. All were rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they alone wrote,their ability to speak effectively, and a number of psychological factors. The conclusions of the study, conducted by an independent think tank located in Scranton, Pennsylvania were surprising. This think tank includes high caliber historians, psychiatrists, sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. Among their ranks are Dr. Werner Levenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and Professor Patricia A. Williams, a world-respected psychiatrist. All members of the think tank are experts at being able to detect a person's IQ from the criteria stated earlier. After four months of research, these learned men and women have determined the IQs of each president within a range of five percentage points. The IQs listed below are the norms for each president.
147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) 132 Harry Truman (D) 122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R) 174 John F. Kennedy (D) 126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D) 155 Richard M. Nixon (R) 121 Gerald Ford (R) 175 James E. Carter (D) 105 Ronald Reagan (R) 099 George HW Bush (R) 182 William J. Clinton (D) 091 George W. Bush (R)


Quote:
The non-partisan researchers who evaluated the twelve presidents determined that the six Republican presidents for the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest IQ, at 155. President G. W. Bush was rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91. The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126. The margin of error is plus or minus five percent. This study was initiated on February 13, 2001 and completed on June 17, 2001. This study validated the widespread feeling of people about the sitting president. President Bush was rated low because of his inability to command the English language, his lack of any scholarly achievements, and an absence of anything authored by him that would reflect an intellectual effort." --"Jennifer Borenstein, Baskerville News Service, 6/28/01"
Another interesting fact:

Out of the past 12 presidents polled, the average I.Q. for a Democrat is 156 and the average I.Q. for a Republican is 115.5. That is a difference of about 40 I.Q. points. Now I am not making any general statements but. . . LOOK AT THE NUMBERS!

If only you weren't a white supremist nazi or whatever it is you are, we could commiserate on the lack of brains in the White House. But you've already ruined your rep here. Most of us on both sides of the aisle around here just don't dig the bigotry.

I doubt Bush has ever even been tested.
What scientific methods did they use to determine this?...according to your post..peoples feelings...

One thing I can tell you for sure Lyndon Johnson was a very smart man.
I have read several books on his Presidency, he was obviously intelligent.

Well actually - "common sense" is the primary measure of ones I.Q.
I.Q. is basically two things: "The speed and accuracy of which a person processes information" and "The measured ability one can get from A to D without the benefit of knowing B and C".

I dont know i think its more a reasoning and hypothetical solve the problem thing.

Common sense is real world enviorment to me. I know alot of super book smart people.
They all can do a thesis on morailty no problem but when a pipe breaks in their cellar they have the lack of common sense to shut off the water supply until the plumber comes. Letting the house flood.

I dont think a pen and paper test can come up with my ideal of common sense though i dont know the internals of the test and you probably are right on the theory behind it. I stand corrected in that sense.

I guess its country Bumpkin common sense im looking at

You know like Kerry eating a steak sandwich upside down and asking for swiss cheese on it at a photo op. i dont hold this against him its not his enviorment.
I blame his pr people for not staging it correctly.

George W. Bush

ps Check out George W. Bush's resume put out by the same people who put out the IQ study. it's pretty amusing.

I'm cuirious to know how you know this is a hoax

I don't kniow, but I bet you don't either.

but, Bush's mannerisms and speach tell me that he is no intellect. I don't need an IQ score to tell me that.
