How about for Presidents? If we test voters we won't need to test presidents. This mild implication that you've been making that Bush is not "intelligent" is really not based on fact. The guy is was a fighter pilot. Stupid people can't do that. Sheer intellect isn't the most important criterion for a president. I think Bush has average intellect. I think Clinton was much smarter. But Bush has absolute integrity where Clinton was/is devoid of integrity. Also important is Bush's ability to build a great team and RELY on their device; Clinton, smart as he was, had a horrible cabinet by comparison and then made it worse by micromanaging everything. The best presidents, as far back as they go, have had some intelligence, a lot of integrity, and great management skills. The reason Bush is a great president is that he has all of these things.
