Is there any reputable source that has his IQ score?

91
EDIT:
You might find this interesting. I did and saved it awhile back.
The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points:
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)
098 George HW Bush (R)
182 William J. Clinton (D)
091 George W. Bush (R)

Because the press made such a big deal out of everything during that election. People made Bush out to be a dolt and Kerry as a genius. Who gives a damn who has what IQ or Nobel prize? All anyone should worry about is who is going to lead our country best. I've known some very intelligent people who had the common sense of a house fly and continually bugger things up. Conversely, some folks, who may not be Mensa material, turn out to be brilliant decision makers.

Don't know for the person who quoted the urbanlegend site read the following from that site:
"I have found no evidence of the existence of a "Lovenstein Institute" in Scranton, Pennsylvania or anywhere else (yes, I know there is a purported Lovenstein Institute Website, but it was created well after this email began circulating and is equally bogus). There's no trace of a "Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist" or "Professor Patricia F. Dilliams, world-respected psychiatrist" -- not in this world, at any rate. All of the facts and figures appear to have been fabricated. Some versions of the text claim it was published by the Associated Press, which is certainly not the case."
So again a case of liberals making stuff up.

I have no idea! Just to put it in perspective though... IQ is a measurement of potential, not necessarily actualized, intelligence or common sense for that matter. Personally, I think truly intelligent people are not threatened by other intelligent people or different viewpoints.

Which set of numbers do you want, the real one,or the spin one....Intelligence Quotient can normally be ascertained as ones ability to absorb and reuse information, thus I'd guess Gw Bush at around 90

I dont know if there is a reputable source. My expectation given his background is somewhere between 110 and 120.
I do love someone citing "urban legends" as a "reputable source."

first of all why does it matter? probably higher than most people on here... second of all, IQ scores are not public... so i doubt you'll be able to find that information...

I'd go with BeachBum's answer/figures...
Seems that apple didn't fall far at all from the tree.
