It also said Dubya was 130 though so I'm not sure how reliable the figures were. I went tae Edinburgh University in 1965 and sat a test tae join MENSA. According tae them I had an I.Q of 139 so am I Presidential material? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely intentional and a part of being persuasive to use easily understandable direct terminology. He is clearly very skilled at persuasion and marketing. If his objective was to make people think he's a moron, he's succeeded admirably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct and simple language (especially with reptition which Trump uses) is generally more persuasive on all types of people. Orwell knew this too. Seriously. If you are giving a presentation for work or something. Use direct and basic language as much as you can. Cut out business speak where you can. You'd be surprised how much it works. I'd agree with that to a certain extent - talk in language that a group understands. He did use "unpresidented", though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Trump is clearly very smart but at the same time utterly deluded. Bush was, by all standards of testing, mildly retarded. No joke he was retarded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 As someone said after the election, during any discussion on any matter he will be the least informed person in the room. Interesting to see that he has deluded simpletons coming to his defence though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppino Impastato Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 WASHINGTON, DC — Researchers at the National Archives today uncovered a stack of the president’s test scores from the 1960s. On a standardized IQ test given to him in seventh grade, President Bush scored a 57, which is within the range of mental retardation. “Psychiatrists consider a score in the high fifties to be only mild mental retardation,” said Dr. Herman Coddrick, White House staff physician. “There’s no reason that a person with such a mental capacity couldn’t hold a regular job, like being server at Dairy Queen, a digger of ditches or Commander-in-Chief of the United States military.” The documents further reveal that George W. Bush re-took the test every year through his senior year at high school, apparently scoring the same result: 57. Bush joked about the test scores with reporters at a press conference this morning. “If I took the test ten times, and kept getting 57’s, I must have an IQ of 460,” he said with an impish laugh. But world leaders were not laughing. “When he was here last week,” said King Abdullah at his ranch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, “begging us to lower oil prices, our interpreters had to speak very slowly, every so often asking if he had to go ‘doody.’” Abdullah said Bush had always come across as someone with low to average intelligence, “maybe in the 80 to 90 range, but we had no clue of his mental retardation. This comes as a complete shock.” “If I’m retarded,” the president told reporters, “and you voted for me — what does that make you?” A White House legal team is looking into whether any documents the president signed over the last eight years would be valid in light of his diminished mental capacity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppino Impastato Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 He came fifth bottom of his class in high school, openly admitted he never read any of the briefings he got and clearly struggled to form coherent sentences.

Peppino Impastato Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 How smart is the president? Les Robinson says: "I would be interested in hearing comments on this report by pro-Bush and anti-Bush WAISERs": In a report published 6/7/04, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four-month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush. Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published its research to the educational community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ" report among others. There have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F.D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush, who were rated based on: 1. Scholarly achievements 2. Writings that they produced without aid of staff 3. Their ability to speak with clarity, and 4. Several other psychological factors which were then scored using the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking. The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points. In order by presidential term: 142 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt 132 - Harry S Truman 122 - Dwight David Eisenhower 174 - John Fitzgerald Kennedy 126 - Lyndon Baines Johnson 155 - Richard Milhous Nixon 121 - Gerald R. Ford 175 - James Earle Carter 105 - Ronald Wilson Reagan 098 - George Herbert Walker Bush 182 - William Jefferson Clinton 091 - George Walker Bush In IQ order: 182 - William Jefferson Clinton 175 - James Earle Carter 174 - John Fitzgerald Kennedy 155 - Richard Milhous Nixon 147 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt 132 - Harry S Truman 126 - Lyndon Baines Johnson 122 - Dwight David Eisenhower 121 - Gerald R. Ford 105 - Ronald Wilson Reagan 098 - George Herbert Walker Bush 091 - George Walker Bush The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest at 155. President George W. Bush rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91. The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126. No president other than Carter [D] has released his actual IQ (176). Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President G. W. Bush, his low ratings are due to his apparently difficult command of the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary [6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents], his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis. The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice stress confidence analysis. "All the Presidents prior to George W. Bush had at least one book under their belt, and most had written several white papers during their education or early careers. Not so with President Bush," Dr. Lovenstein said. "He has no published works or writings, which made it more difficult to arrive at an assessment. We relied more heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public speaking." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do see polls that show there are a rather large group who do believe this. What I suspect is that if you sat down with most of these people and ask if they think Obama believes that Muhammad is prophet of God and the Koran was divinely inspired they would say no. A very common belief is that Obama is not really a Christian and is partial to Muslims. I think some of the people who believe this get lumped in with the crazy folks. Why should this matter ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not use speech as a means of measuring IQ and there is no chance on the Earth that Clinton had an IQ of 180 something. That would place him among the highest IQs ever measured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Presidential_IQ_hoax IQ tests are also very controversial. There is a host of issues with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
