Kind of Amazing that one of the WORST Presidents we have had (Carter) had one of the highest IQ's. Seems to me HORSE SENSE must be at least as equally important as IQ. As to the Bush's, I really doubt its that low. My recollection is 100 is considered average and I dont think any one honestly judging Bush's could say they are below average. Incidentally, mine and my sons is higher then most of the Presidents listed, does that make us MORE QUALIFIED to be President? jdn

No, that one is the old phoney one. Mine is labelled UPDATED and CORRECTED. I think it's the real one. A report published by the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, UPDATED and corrected its prior 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 last 50 years, from F.D. Roosevelt to G.W. Bush, who were rated based on scholarly achievements: 1. Writings that they produced without aid of staff. 2. Their ability to speak with clarity, and 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 of presidential term: Franklin Delano Roosevelt [D] 132, Harry S Truman [D] 122, Dwight David Eisenhower [R] 142 John Fitzgerald Kennedy [D] 144, Lyndon Baines Johnson [D] 126, Richard Milhous Nixon [R] 155, Gerald R. Ford [R] 128, James Earle Carter [D] 125, Ronald Wilson Reagan [R] 185 George Herbert Walker Bush [R] 141, William Jefferson Clinton [D] 127, George Walker Bush [R] 129 In order of IQ: Ronald Wilson Reagan [R] 185 Richard Milhous Nixon [R] 155, John Fitzgerald Kennedy [D] 144, Dwight David Eisenhower [R] 142, George Herbert Walker Bush [R] 141, Franklin Delano Roosevelt [D] 132, George Walker Bush [R] 129 Gerald R. Ford [R] 128, William Jefferson Clinton [D] 127, Lyndon Baines Johnson [D] 126, James Earle Carter [D] 125, Harry S Truman [D] 122, The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 146, with President Reagan having the highest at 185. President Gerald Ford rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 128. The six Democratic presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 129, with President Kennedy having the highest IQ, at 144. President Harry Truman was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 122. No president other than Clinton [D] has released his actual IQ (127). The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice stress confidence analysis. The Lovenstein Institute of Scranton is a Pennsylvania think tank of high caliber historians, psychiatrists, sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. Among their ranks are Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and Professor Patricia F. Dilliams.
