I didn’t plagiarize anyone, and I’m not even sure how someone could be said to plagiarize an IQ score.

My sources were varied, but did not include your site. Perhaps one of the other sites had a common source? Some of it was from Wikipedia, some was from a Psychological journal, and there were a couple of other sites that I has a reasonable trust level for as well. None of this is my own speculation, since I am not qualified to estimate someone’s IQ score. Nor, I suspect, are you. You might be interested in discussions like this one:

I do see that there has been some discussion about the Palin scores, for example:

I am willing to concede that my sources might have been hoaxed. Just show me the link for the correct information.

John McCain’s score is apparently from his medical records, so that would seem pretty authoritative.

As for Obama, if nothing else, a Harvard – Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude suggests that he is pretty darn smart, and you just don’t have that job at the Harvard Law Review unless you’re top notch. It’s a very competitive position. McCain was near the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy. Bush only got 1206 on his SATs, with a C average at Yale.

I posted the range of what I found online from the best sources I could find, but as I said in the post, they are unverified. I was just interested in the broad strokes anyway.

Some of your online discussions would suggest that you have a stake in believing that Barack Obama isn’t very smart. But that’s not a reason to come here and attack me.

But on the Obama thing, that IQ of 148-172 is absolutely
ridiculous!

When I did the research for Obama’s IQ way back in May 2008, I could find nothing of acadenic acheivent. No GPA’s and certainly no IQ Scores.

So I did the best that I could with the information that I have on hand that stated most people graduating from Harvard have 172 – 178 on their LSAT.

Since I know that MENSA accepts people into membership with more than 200 approved tests.

After crunching numbers, I initially estimated his IQ at 140 and quite possibly higher.

And then then as the runoff for President of the USA rolled around, I began to notice a huge lag in knowledge when he was not doing a scripted event.

He hesitated quite a bit and before he would speak he would never answer a simple question with a simple response.

When he went to a Roast for him and John McCain he read the words of the pages very slowly and never demonstrated any spontaneity whatsoever.

So, I went back to my website: http://www.kids-iq-tests.com/d-prez.html, and lowered his score to about 130.

To be honest, I do not think that he has the smarts to get into MENSA.

His whole administration will be made up of former Clinton staffers and he is doing his best to surround himself with the best b/c truth be known, he really does not know what the hell he is doing.

But he was elected president and I’ll support him until he screws up.

I bet that since my opinion is just the opposite of yours, I be you will not even allow this post to get through.

Einstein had an IQ of 160, Stephan Hawking and Bill Gates both have IQ’s that register in the 160’s and you want me to believe that hes has an IQ as high as 172?

Not only do you plagiarize the work of others, you do a piss/poor job at speculating a persons real IQ

How did you come about such a high IQ? Was it that hoax on the net that The Washington Post declared Obama is a genius?

However, if that was what you bought into then you were nothing but suckers. I searched the Post and even called looking for such a story and I was told, what you read was a hoax.

Based on her academic performance, Palin’s IQ would be on the high end of average. If she had an IQ as low as you suggest she would barely be able to read English and would not be able to drive a car. Also, Joe Biden has brain damage and was nearly expelled from college for plagiarism; hardly in league with Plato and Hawking.

I would not be surprised if either of the Clintons had IQs higher than 120, and would be surprised if Obama’s was less than 130. However, none of these politicians is a genius. They would be the first to admit it.
