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

[gb13]

160's, huh?

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

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.

Wow... For a genius with an IQ in the 160s, you really have some terrible grammar.

They must not teach about sentence structure at The School for the Gifted.

As I said in an earlier post, your doesn't necessarily compute with your actual intelligence, but my grammar is usually good.

Whats with the caps? I dont get it.

Ladies and gentleman we have found our first 70-79 range candidate...

LOL! Just kidding of course.


Oh and only 300,000 people have a higher IQ than me in the US... Explains a lot let me tell you...

Mensa (of which I used to be a dues paying member) has as it's minimum qualification an IQ score in the top 2%, which they put at the IQ of 130. An IQ of 145 is in the one in 1000 range. IQs above one in 100,000 or so are difficult to accurately quantify (I don't care what anyone says).
Further, the British Army found decades ago that if there were more than two standard deviations in intelligence between the leader and the led (in either direction), major problems were the result. Ron's strength and his weakness is his intelligence and education.

As evidenced by his inability to dumb things down for idiots. He really is in his own world mentally a lot of times, simply because he is surrounded by fucking moronic douchebags in DC.

Although I will say VERY FEW ppl have an IQ anywhere NEAR 160, and I always question people who make such claims...

It still isn't very fair to pass intelligence judgement on anyone based on their "internet shorthand".

Thanks for the input. I appreciate your perspective.

BTW 138

There's no way those numbers are accurate.

I have a 130 IQ (although I have cracked 140 a couple of times) and I couldn't even begin to [mentally] hang with Ron Paul.

Plus, it goes without saying that anyone capable of duking it out with the head of the Federal Reserve is a platinum plus genius.

So Ron Paul must be in the neighborhood of 150. Maybe even higher.

I know. i was only kidding and i tried to give that away by the smiley face? i guess i'm not a genius neither oh well,


There. I think the the preceding paragraph (if you can call it a paragraph) makes me and Hawthorne about even. No hard feelings.

Sorry, I had to do it... forgive me :o

I dont know anything about you, but if you are in to these predictive test thingys, then I found a good one..

After you get your 4 letters for example, INTJ, then input "INTJ career" in to google.com, then go to the first website... scroll to the bottom and view your ideal careers... I had my entire family do this, and it predicted every one of their careers..

It has predicted 3 of mine... Check it out.

Haha. Don’t worry. There are more important things to get mad about. Those that would wrap humanity within centralization take the brunt of my anger.....and slow drivers.

BTW, my current employer asks all potential employees to take exactly the test that you forwarded. I do have to admit it is pretty accurate, subjectively speaking.

Well if you have any misconceptions about whether this means you can or will be President. I have one word for you. GEORGE!

I was going to stay out of this thread, because when people start discussing IQ, tread carefully... I researched intelligence a few decades ago, but my paper has long vanished. From the research for that paper, I concluded that high intelligence was related to the presence * of the child's parents during development, i.e. birth to 13 years of age. From my own experience in the military, I knew of one soldier (later discovered to be homosexual and a user of illegal narcotics) who was extremely intelligent with a documented IQ around 150, IIRC. Although, I have no proof in the case of this soldier, it's very possible that he was physically and psychologically abused as a child. Abused children tend to have heightened perceptions which enhance IQ. So, a high IQ can be both a blessing and a curse depending on the person's circumstances. Now, can we get back to the work of Ron's campaign?

No, it's just that we of superior intellect are on such a higher level that your simplistic way of communicating can be challenging to us sometimes.

Ron Paul's gotta be around 165 and McCain around 115

Your employer is a smart man/woman. If I were to hire anyone for my (fictional) company then I would do the same.. You just cant get the same vital info from an interview and lunch.

I agree..

I also believe that really really smart people are borderline crazy. A lot of the genius types have mental problems/social probs.

And from the few people Ive known who are 150+, drug problems as well.

lol you guys are asses who's jealous. why's people gotta be drug addict, crazy molested orphans to be smart?

Not jealous, I have high scores and can attest to some of this stuff..

Plus I have noticed everything that I have said in others..

 

[Shink]

I've scored high on IQ tests before, but I don't see how it measures "intelligence" accurately. It's all subjective. I remember reading somewhere a bit on IQ tests that made a lot of sense. It basically pointed out that it is scoring people along predetermined lines and doesn't necessarily reflect anything other than a person's ability to pass a culturally accepted 'style' of test.

If I wrote up a test with general sections in grammar, reading comprehension, Magic: the Gathering rules, combat techniques of an airborne infantry platoon and video game aptitude and got it pushed into being the standard test in a geographic area, what would a high score really tell anyone? My guess: awesomeness level.

My experiences are with childhood friends. Obviously many highly intelligent people don't become speed/ heroine addict hermits. I was just adding that I know of several people who have had a hard time acclimating into "normal" that have high IQ's.
