Well, Bush hasn't taken an IQ test administered by a psychologist and revealed his score...however, he has taken the old SAT, which is like an IQ test and correlates with IQ. The verbal portion of the old SAT was designed to replicate the Ottis-Lennon IQ test.
I took a sample of about 2,000,000 SAT scores from the 1980's and came up with this IQ plot.
Based on Bush's SAT score, his IQ is about 121. Certainly not as stupid as some people would suggest. Smarter than Kerry and people like JFK, dumber than Gore, Clinton and Nixon.
(THESE SCORES DO NOT APPLY TO SAT SCORES AFTER 1994!)

I doubt it has ever been tested. During the last election a writer estimated his IQ compared to John Kerrey (his conclusion was that Bush had a slightly higher IQ) but he was not a expert or tested either men. This was a popular news item for a week and conservative pundits had some fun with that.
Bush definitely has a average IQ for his age and probably actually has an above average IQ (for his age). But IQ is not necessarilly a measurement of intellect and/or experience... it is only a measurement of your brain's capacity to retain information and/or problem solve. Bush may or may not utilize his IQ... in other words, he might have a high IQ but if he has not studied or bothered to learn some things he might not be able to work out certain things that a man with a lesser IQ has.
But IQ's are only theoretical anyway... they are accepted in popular culture but are not accepted by all of the scientific community.

More than decent, though there's no confirmed IQ Test - if there had been, by now CNN would have ran a story about it. I wouldn't doubt it if he was low 100s. He's just terrible, nervous, and clumsy when it comes to politics, which is why he has his "family friends" do the politicking for him.
The man isn't stupid as many seem to think. He's just out of his element. He should never have been born into such a business- and political-minded family. He's too simple for that. But he loves his father so much he puts up with it and struggles through failed companies and presidencies just so he can live up to his father's expectations.
Amazing how many people think he's as bad as Hitler, though. Hitler would have been offended. Bush is Bush, not a sociopathical maniac with a desire to wipe out the Jews and return to his mother's womb.

I don't know, but since IQ is a measure of ones likelihood of academic success, PRESIDENT Bush has an IQ higher than Hanoi John, since the President's GPA at Yale was higher than the gigolo from Mass.
How low of an IQ does it take for a leftist to never show enough respect for the President? I have noticed that none of the "me-too, I can't think for myself so I repeat talking points for idiots" group never acknowledge that pro-USA presidents have that title.
It is PRESIDENT BUSH. That really rankles the "hate America first" crowd.
PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT! (Hurts to see that, don't it?) You sore losers have no respect for your own country. Shame on you. Let us hope that you grow up some day.

There is currently no information available on President Bush's I.Q., especially reliable ones. Here is a source you can look at for more information. I don't know whether or not it's reliable, though.

Based on his published SAT score, his IQ would be around 129 - 140, which is in the top 10% of the nation.

intense adequate to do the interest (no remember in case you like the outcomes or no longer) of the POTUS daily for exceedingly much 6 years now. What do YOU do daily once you roll off the Futon at midday? (different than posing uninspired questions in unfavorable gammatical English on Yahoo message boards it rather is...)
