catbirdseat Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 "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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Phil Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Don't know his IQ, but his GPA at Yale was higher than Kerry's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 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? full quote Bush: "Subliminable", etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
