President Bush Ranks Lowest IQ in 50 Years of US Presidents. In a report
published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania,
detailed its 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 past 50 years, from F.D. Roosevelt to G.W. Bush, who
were rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they produced
without aid of staff, 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 by presidential term:


147 .. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)

132 .. Harry Truman (D)

122 .. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)

174 .. John F. Kennedy (D)

126 .. Lyndon B. Johnson (D)

155.. Richard M. Nixon (R)

121 .. Gerald Ford (R)

175 .. James E. Carter (D)

105 .. Ronald Reagan (R)

098 .. George Bush (R)

182 .. William J. Clinton (D)

091 .. George W. Bush (R)


In IQ order:


182 .. William J. Clinton (D)

175 .. James E. Carter (D)

174 .. John F. Kennedy (D)

155 .. Richard M. Nixon (R)

147 .. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)

132 .. Harry Truman (D)

126 .. Lyndon B. Johnson (D)

122 .. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)

121 .. Gerald Ford (R)

105 .. Ronald Reagan (R)

098 ..George Bush (R)

091 .. George W. Bush (R)


The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of

115.5, with President Nixon having the highest at 155. President G.W.
Bush

rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91.

The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President

Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was
rated

the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126. No president other than

Carter (D) has released his actual IQ, 176.Among comments made concerning

the specific testing of President GW Bush, his low ratings are due to his

apparently difficult command of the English language in public statements,

his limited use of vocabulary (6,500 words for Bush versus an average of

11,000 words for other presidents), his lack of scholarly achievements
other

than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be
studied

on an intellectual basis. The complete report documents the methods and

procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence

structure and voice stress confidence analysis.

"All the Presidents prior to George W. Bush had a least one book under
their

belt, and most had written several white papers during their education or

early careers. Not so with President Bush," Dr. Lovenstein said. "He has
no

published works or writings, which made it more difficult to arrive at an

assessment. We relied more heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public

speaking." The Lovenstein Institute of Scranton Pennsylvania think tank

includes 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,

a world-respected psychiatrist.

Claim: According to a study by the Lovenstein Institute, President
Bush has the lowest IQ of all presidents of past 50 years.
Status: False.

Origins: No, this isn't a real news report, nor does it describe a
real study. There isn't a "Lovenstein Institute" in Scranton,
Pennsylvania (or anywhere else in the USA), nor do any of the people
quoted in the story exist, because this is just another spoof that was
taken too seriously.

Good research, John!

I cannot believe that anybody with an IQ of 91 would insult a foreign
leader, and 6 months later ask for military assistance from that same
leader!!


Bush's IQ cannot be any higher than 60.


Recently, people like Bush were classified as having "learning
difficulties". A few years ago, they were called "mentally disabled".
Before that, they were called lunatics.

Now, they are called "Mr. President.".

If you think you are being clever, you're not. You haven't said one
word about his intelligence, or supposed lack of it, but you have just
spoken volumes about your own ignorance and bigotry.

Donal has become just another anti-American, liberal
fool foreigner who hates President George W. Bush so
much that he's allowed his meager reasoning powers to
morph into complete mush and consequently has reduced
himself to repeating lies and rumors because he can
can do little else.

Pacifists like Donal need to be tossed into a gulag and
made to live on bread and water and break rocks 18
hours a day for about a year so they get it through their
thick heads that they'd be doing this permanently if enough
people were as stupid and cowardly as they are.

S.Simon - lives in the real world - a world kept free by
brave and patriotic men like George W. Bush
and Tony Blair.

Brilliant, John. You are obviously a man who understands what is going on
in the world.

Perhaps you can explain why no WMD have been found in Iraq.?

Better yet Donal.... maybe he can explain why the USA is begging for help
from the same people it insulted and dismissed for not joining in this
idiotic fiasco. Seems like failing to achieve objectives is the hallmark of
this presidency.

Didn't all this start off to stop terrorism? Osama Bin Missin'??

Trying to change the subject to deflect attention away from your own
ignorance?

Perhaps you can explain your stunning ignorance, and the fact that
ample evidence has been found that shows saddam was actively engaged
in WMD programs?

OK! Let me put it simply.

A few months ago, the French and German governments were given all sorts of
abuse by various members of the Bush administration for their refusal to
support war in Iraq.

The French and Germans felt that the War against Terror would not be helped
by invading Iraq. They warned that the situation would be made worse. They
claimed that there was no proof that Iraq posed an imminent threat. They
claimed that there was no evidence to link Al Q'aeda with Saddam, and they
said that there was no proof of the existence of WMD.


The situation in Iraq has now gone "tits up", just as the French and
Germans predicted.

Now, the Bush administration is seeking assistance from the French and
Germans because the US is finding it difficult to deal with the daily
terrorist attacks.


It is very stupid to ask the French and Germans to help to pay for the mess
that they tried to prevent in the first place. Only an idiot would expect
help in this situation.

I don't think that I am being very clever. I do think that anyone who
still thinks that Bush is intelligent must be very stupid.
