Guess Bush's IQ?

OMG...

 

"But he went to Yale, he has had an exclusive upbringing and he is by no means a dimwit."

Bush’s openness score of zero — compared with 82 for Clinton and John F Kennedy, 95 for Abraham Lincoln and 99.1 for Thomas Jefferson — “placed him at the very bottom of US presidents”.

 

This assessment can only be considered tentative because of lack of available evidence on a sitting president, but it is corroborated by a measure of Bush’s “integrative complexity”. Simonton says: “Low scorers on integrative complexity can only see things from a single perspective — their own.”

 

Bush’s score, he says, is comparable to “extremist Islamic fundamentalists in the Taliban and Al-Qaeda leadership — with the notable exception of Osama Bin Laden, who is lower still”.

No surprises here.

and how does it compare to yours?

Hey KKK, I just posted the link, w/o comment (and w/ a positive quote I might add). I'll leave the discourse to you spray lords.

"He “is definitely intelligent . . . certainly smart enough to be president of the United States”, says Dean Keith Simonton, a psychologist at the University of California"

[catbirdseat]

He means smart enough to BECOME the president of the United States. He doesn't mean smart enough to do a good job of it.

Don't know his IQ, but his GPA at Yale was higher than Kerry's.

[Alpinfox]

Yeah, Bush's GPA was 77 and Kerry's was 76. A huge difference to be sure, but what courses did they take?

 

Getting a C+ in Existential Philosophy is a lot more impressive than getting a B- in Cheerleading.

 

 

Also, what is the most impressive thing each of them have said?

 

Kerry:

 

We are asking Americans to think about that because how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?

Bush: "Subliminable", etc.

Everyday I am training to be smartest American president.

[Dave_Schuldt]

After much thought I find that his IQ is 0.0000000001.
