Bush's SAT score would roughly project to an IQ in the
125-130 range.

From snopes.com:

There isn't a "Lovenstein Institute"... this is just another spoof that was taken too seriously.

The study quoted above began circulating on the Internet during the summer of 2001. Later that year pranksters thought to register www.lovenstein.org and erect a web site around it in an attempt to fool people into thinking there really was such an institute.

The piece is simply a political jibe.

Here is an article that really answers your question...


Presidential IQ

A report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of
Scranton, Pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush. Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published its research to the educational community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ"report among others.

There have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F.D. Roosevelt to G.W. Bush, who were rated based on scholarly achievements:

1. Writings that they produced without aid of staff, and

2. Their ability to speak with clarity, and several other
psychological factors, which were then scored using the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking.

The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points. In order of IQ rating:

182 . . William Jefferson Clinton [D]
175 . . James Earle Carter [D]
174 . . John Fitzgerald Kennedy [D]
155 . . Richard Milhous Nixon [R]
147 . . FranklinDelano Roosevelt [D]
132 . . Harry S Truman [D]
126 . Lyndon Baines Johnson [D]
122 . . Dwight David Eisenhower [R]
121 . . Gerald R. Ford [R]
105 . . Ronald Wilson Reagan [R]
098 . . George Herbert Walker Bush [R]
091 . . George Walker Bush [R]
>
The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest at 155. President George W. Bush rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91.

The six Democratic presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ 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. No president other than Carter [D] has released his actual IQ (176).

Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President G.W. Bush, his low ratings are due to his apparently difficult command of the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary [6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents], his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual
basis.

the 50th percentile among the norm group of Air Force Academy applicants had an IQ of about 123, thus putting Bush in the 125-130 range—a little better than his SAT score would imply.

severe adequate to do the activity (no rely in case you like the outcomes or not) of the POTUS every day for just about 6 years now. What do YOU do every day once you roll off the Futon at midday? (different than posing uninspired questions in destructive gammatical English on Yahoo message boards it rather is...)

George Bush has the I.Q. of a toot straw. I've always considered him an Idiot Sevant, like the Rain Man. In most ways he is mildly to moderately retarded; in other ways he is brilliant.

He doesn't know how to talk intelligently and he doesn't know when to stop, but he is capable of destroying the world and he sure does know how to lie, cheat, steal and kill. He lacks a sense of reason in his thoughts. He doesn't know enough to care and he doesn't care enough to know.

He is much smarter than he comes out to be. They want you to think that he is stupid. He does't even control what goes on. Ppl behind the scense do that.

Rumour has it that it is below 60, but I seriously doubt it. I think it is around 90-100
