Accorging to Wikipedia the IQ Presidents was a hoax?! The one w/ WJC 100 pts above GW? False??

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Presidents_IQ_hoax

Not long ago someone , departed was bellowing these reports from the Lovenstein.org /reports .... however the numbers are way off. Now if you look further it could be real? But h #8 was set in stone on these theories? DO you believe this has really any more bearing than a regular candidates polling numbers? Is this the "WHY" ? Why we bash Bush? I find he still has a low IQ but if one was to place a morality poll who would fair better?

Curious. If all these numbers matter really? Personally I am in a heated debate at home with a Democrat. I prefer a President who supports his country not his ego.

Now Hillary & Obama have the highest IQ's of the candidates. Who do I trust or who is just smart enough to try and fool the nation, again? Please enter into the debate. It is not "cozy" but remember to stay w/in the playbook pls. Thanks for those who care & answer .

Perhaps Engish is not ones first language which would explain why u do not get the TOS you checked by coming on Y!A young coyote but I appreciate your input once it came out...

You guys mostly understand it does not take a rocket scientist to be a good leader. Didn't Hitler have this amazing IQ himself? Mahalo.

Answer 1

I know an anesthesiologist with a 98 IQ. Believe me, he makes Bush look like a genius, but he is very good at what he DOES do.

Bush is obviously very bright - he is our president and had to be quick witted in order to get there. I think he has been personally hampered by all he has had to deal with during his presidency. I think it has bothered him and I think it has made him reticient to speak at times. Plus, all the negativity the poor man has had to endure. MG, who would feel confident or, be at their best?

Clinton, I agree is very bright, but I don't agree with the way he has used his God given gifts and I am almost sure God doesn't either.

Nearing the close of his final term, Bush is lightening up a bit and I see more of his old charm than I have in a long time. It just goes to show how much the war was bothering him and how relieved he is at the show of progress over there.

- More proof that all in all, he is a very good man, a fine person, a president that has cared about his decisions and their cost to the country.

Answer 2

As someone with an IQ in the 98 percentile, I would have to disagree that Hillary and Obama have the highest IQ. If you recall Hillary flunked the Washington DC bar exam. Giving her the high IQ award is certainly a stretch. Obama seems smarter than Hillary but don't know if he has the highest IQ. Listening to all the candidates I would say Duncan Hunter is probably head of the class.

Answer 3

IQ has little to do with your ability to lead a nation.
Presidnet does not have to be the smartest person in the room. He has to surround himself with good people.
He has to present himself to the American people as a leader.
He should keep himself from questional moral behavoirs and answer honestly to the public ( when national security is not at a risk)
If people think Barak Oboma or Hillary Clinton have leadership qualities they are mis lead.
For all Bush's short commings he is a good leader. He does what he thinks is right reguardless of opnion.
A leader is motivated by right and wrong not what is popular.

Answer 4

I believe the whole thing a hoax. Because Bill Clinton was Rhodes Scholar it was assumed he has a high IQ... Well maybe he does. But so does my son... and he can be one of the dumbest smart people I know!

It's assumed that George W is not all that smart because of small faux pas... Big deal.. He has a halted way of speech... Big Deal. That doesn't mean he is stupid. It means he probably has a speech impediment.

Still I'm so grateful that he was President on 9/11 instead of Gore.... I don't necessarily agree with Iraq but we are there and we should finish the job instead of tucking tail and running out.

Answer 5

Bush isn't as dumb as some people think, I think he's a hell of a lot savvier than people think, and the dumb act is a political game to make him seem more like an average guy. It was a good strategy because it made his opponents, Gore and Kerry, look almost elitist next to him. People sometimes are more trusting of an average seeming guy than someone who seems more intelligent but more of an insider poltician. He's not as dumb as people think but he's still not the brains behind the operation.

But what you said about someone with a higher IQ being able to deceive the country, it doesn't matter, every serious politician, Republican and Democrat, has plenty of evil geniuses behind him or her, you're not voting for the candidate, you're voting for the people behind the curtain.

Answer 6

I examined 137, yet i don't experience too arrogant approximately it, it does not help virtually as a lot because of the fact the form of skills like lively listening, empathy and meditation. The 137 IQ is merely the uncooked ingredient of intelligence, no count number in case you develop right into a gifted chef to apply your factors to ultimate result's the authentic question lol

Answer 7

Well for openers....GWB graduated from Yale with a higher GPA than John Kerry. I know, I know. his father bought it for him. Yeah, right.

I believe Bush will go down in history with Truman and Lincoln. Most of the people you talk to, live in the here and now. I am a history buff and Lincoln and Truman were hated as much as GWB, maybe more. Now they are two of the most revered leaders in our history. And if you read up on it, both Lincoln and Truman were in a very similar situation as far as the peace-niks were concerned and both were in a very, very unpopular war.

I admire GWB. He stands up for what he believes and WILL NOT BACK DOWN. He does not care what the polls say and his attitude is...."My country before my party".

The polls are against him. Yeah, so?. He was elected to LEAD, not to listen to polls. Truman had a negative rating almost as low as GWB. And we see how that came out.


Anyone that ones to debate this with me. My email is posted. NO NASTINESS. Pofanity will be spammed.
Reasonable and rational discussion.

Answer 8

Yeah, if Bush's IQ was 91 and Clinton was 182, that would mean Bush is slightly mentally impaired and Clinton is a rare genious. I think both are probably a little closer to the average. Though I wouldn't doubt that Bush is more likely in the "normal" range than the "intelligent" range...

Answer 9

Despite your very poor English, I think I get what you are asking.

So you want to have a "morality poll" - Clinton vs. Bush.

Okaaaaay.

Let's see.

One act of consensual sex between adults, versus a meaningless TRILLION dollar war which has caused the DEATHS of tens of THOUSANDS of innocent civilians and Unites States Soldiers.

Which is less moral?
