<<<This whole Bush is STUPID theme, is itself rather STUPID. Its also besides the point. Its not his grades or his IQ that are the issue, its his politics and his record.>>>
If you are not that smart you can still do okay if you can compensate by studying, working diligently, and being focused.
Most likely Bush does not have an extremely low IQ. Chances are it is somewhere between 120 and 130. He is probably in 80 - 90 percentile. Nowadays you really need a high IQ and to be diligent to succeed. I doubt that you can succeed and be head of IBM, Intel, Microsoft, GS, etc with much less than an of IQ of 140 or more. Even then, you would have to work your butt off.
My guess is that Bill Clinton is in the 145 to 160 range. That probably puts him in the 98 percentile. He can get away with occassionaly be indulgent, unfocused and lazy.
But Bush with a relatively low IQ did not study, drank, partied, and did not take life seriously until he was over 40 years old.
When did he start to apply himself and gain the knowledge that he needed to run the US of A? |
