Lot's of people have wealthy parents who give them endless assistance. Few rise to the level that Trump has. Of course he wouldn't be where he is if he was born into a poor family, but he took his dad's money and influence and took it to the next level. That is a huge success any way you look at it.

He has done the same thing with his kids.

He doesn't strike me as being very intelligent, I think Rand is probably smarter.

That's a real puzzler for me, also.

I've been thinking for quite a while now that this blustery, can't-string-a-coherent-sentence-together guy we see stumping on the campaign trail is a manufactured persona he's developed over the years - especially when enemies (and press) are in the room.

I become more convinced when I hear smart, eloquent guys like Nigel Farage talk about him.

I would love to see Farage in the Administration.....
 
Can't go by IQ score. It depends on the standard deviation. On a close-ended IQ test, the max score may be 150, and then a score of 132 is very high. On an open-ended score test, someone can actually score an IQ of over 200! Marilyn vos Savant didn't get that score on the WISC. Also, this IQ Kids site, they gave Hillary a much higher score than Obama until he got elected. Then, things got revised to give him a much higher score. So some things "change" when someone gets voted in. There is some subjectivity with these websites comparing candidates.
By the way, Trump spoke on a 4.5 grade vocab during the primaries, etc. Rand was at about 7.5 grade, so it wasn't like he was talking down to the electorate.

Anyone who doesn't think that Trump is a genius is missing something. He knows exactly what he is doing, and he is playing you and all the self appointed intellectual establishment/pundits for the fools that you are.

A user name like that should get at least one free pass from banishment .

Many people claim that Donald Trump has an IQ score of somewhere between 151 - 156 which would mean he is a genius, smarter than 99.99% of the population. This is based on his SAT score, back when SAT scores correlated with IQ, and his graduating from Wharton.


Here are some related articles and social media:

What was Trump's SAT score? (Trump transferred to Wharton from Fordham so his SAT score may not have mattered ] -it wasn't an MBA either but a BA. Fordham has no minimum SAT requirement to get in http://www.prepscholar.com/sat/s/colleges/Fordham-University-SAT-scores-GPA )

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-donald-trump-myths-20160128-story.html

Trump’s college background, in fact, is often his key piece of evidence for his intellectual superiority. But there’s less here than meets the eye. Trump did graduate from the Wharton School of business at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League college. But Trump did not get an MBA from Wharton; he has a much less prestigious undergraduate degree. He was a transfer student who arrived at Wharton after two years at Fordham University, which U.S. News & World Report currently ranks 66th among national universities. (Besides, simply going to an Ivy League school doesn’t prove you’re a genius.)

Gwenda Blair, in her 2001 book “The Trumps,” said that Trump’s grades at Fordham were just “respectable” and that he got into Wharton mainly because he had an interview with an admissions officer who had been a high school classmate of his older brother. And Wharton’s admissions team surely knew that Trump was from one of New York’s wealthiest families.

For years, numerous media reports said Trump graduated first in his class from Wharton, but that’s wrong. The 1968 commencement program does not list him as graduating with any sort of honors.

Education is no bearing on IQ.

Just because somebody paid to have somebody else tell them they are smart, that doesn't mean they are smart.

Ya, besides, the SAT score required to get into Wharton back then was equivalent to an IQ of 145-149, not 156..

:rolleyes:

According to what I could find, he transferred to Wharton based on who he knew- not what his SAT was. And since the SAT has changed over time, it is extremely difficult to say what somebody's IQ is based on that. Fordham has no minimum SAT score so it could have been anything.

According to the Penn State Admissions Department transfers must provide SAT scores (along with grades and other information), but there is no minimum score required and 25% of transfer students will be below the median score of 1400. Considering that Trump may have used a special favor to enter Wharton, it’s entirely possible that his SAT score was below the median, meaning his IQ could well be in the 120 to 130 range. Dr. Sewell confided in me that the focus of his article was not Trump’s IQ but his personality traits, and his speculation about Trump’s IQ was just that, speculation. Furthermore, he was surprised to find that Trump was a transfer student at Wharton.

As an aside, Donald constantly brags about graduating from Wharton business school, but he never points out that he did not receive an MBA from the prestigious Wharton School of Business. His degree is from the Wharton School of Commerce and Economics. Donald attended the Wharton School as an undergraduate and received a BS degree only.

Since he graduated alongside others who did get those scores, the only way it could have been "anything" is if he paid off all of his professors for his grades.

Any proof?

What were his grades? What was his SAT score? Where is your proof?

Proof of what? I'm not trying to prove his IQ is 156, but to graduated alongside people who had to have an IQ of 145 to attend, I would imagine his would be at least in the 130s.. even if he was really corrupt and sliding by, it is still probably at least 125. But still could easily be in the 150s. I voted 126-149 though.
