So I ask you: the press is surely composed of many high I.Q. people, but where Obama is concerned, does anyone actually think they're very smart?< The reason this turned into a discussion if because nobody is defining their terms. We measure intelligence with IQ tests. It does well to show us who learns fast. These people are considered smart. So: High IQ or smart - Able to learn quickly. Low IQ, Dumb, idiot or Stupid: the inability or unwillingness to learn. A IQ/income chart shows that the smarter you are, the higher your income. Sure, their are exceptions, but that is the norm. Your politics are controlled by social environment and your Cultural BG. Generally, the poor vote Left and the rich vote right. But the upper incomes are split by their cultural BG.
