IQ Scores of Rep. Pres. Hopefuls (2008 Campaign)

[StarKissed]

Well, at least we know Ron Paul is the most intelligent. I'm surprised at McCain's score. I figured his would be under 100.


Ron Paul - IQ Score Range: 130 - 140

John McCain - IQ Score Range: 120 - 130.

Rudy Giuliani IQ Score of 123.

Mike Huckabee - IQ Score Range: 110 - 125.

Duncan Hunter - IQ Score Range: 120 - 130.

Mitt Romney - IQ Score: 122.

Fred Thompson - IQ Score: 123.

Um... source?

That means that Ron Paul would be the only one who could even compete with me, I'm in the 160s.

I don't believe McNutSack's IQ is that high. No way.

 

[UnitedWeStand]

No way Ron Paul is under 150-60. Whoever wrote this must think 130 is "real smarte".

Well, that means he is on the upper end of average, not where you want your politicians to be.

Wow. My IQ is higher than most of those people. Funny.

Go Ron's brain!

 

[pinkmandy]

You're giving him too much credit, Nate. I don't think he's *that* smart even. I'd place him below 100. Sunshine anyone?

Ditto and ditto.

Below 100 is impossible for McCain, that would be like running into windows dumb, if you are below 80 you probably have some learning disability, even.

"IQ Scores & Ratings
What is a good IQ score? What is a high IQ score? What is a low IQ score? These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test.

Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:

Over 140 - Genius or near genius

120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence

110 - 119 - Superior intelligence

90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence

80 - 89 - Dullness

70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency

Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness"

I think he's around 95.

IQ has very little to do with the quality of a leader. An understanding of human nature and a good sense of right and wrong will take you much further. I say this as a person with a very respectable IQ score.

For claiming to have such a high IQ, you should know that 100 is your average adult, and 80, while below average, isn't a score relating to retardation - think 60 and under.

The Average adult isn't quite "running into windows" dumb.

And again, from where did the OP pull these numbers?

If you're talking about McCain.....I'd want my President to have a higher IQ

How is that the source, and how did all the candidates take that test? Is this a joke, or what?

I have a general IQ of 126.

Edit: oh ok it's estimated

The scale I saw some time ago was

160 or above: Genius

140-159: Superior Intellect

120-139: Above average

100-119: Average

80-99: Moron

40-79: Idiot

1-39: Imbecile

The average adult, last time I heard, was 114.

Actually, according to this article...it's true about McCain's IQ, and that was when he was a youngster. At 71 (or whatever his age), I'm sure his IQ number has dropped considerably.
