MrHixxx 0 #1 June 27, 2003 Report: President Bush Has Lowest IQ of all Presidents of past 70 Years (at least) : Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published it's research to the education community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ" report among others. According to statements in the report, there have been twelve presidents over the past 70 years, from F. D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush who were all rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they alone produced without aid of staff, their ability to speak with clarity, and several other psychological factors which were then scored in the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking. The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points: Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) = 147 Harry A. Truman (D) = 132 John F. Kennedy (D) = 174 Lyndon B. Johnson (D) = 126 James E. Carter (D) = 175 William J. Clinton (D) = 182 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R) = 122 Richard M. Nixon (R) = 155 Gerald Ford (R) = 121 Ronald Reagan (R) = 105 George HW Bush (R) = 098 George W. Bush (R) = 091 Democratic presidents have had an Average IQ of 156 Republican presidents have had an Average IQ of 115.5 Not a SINGLE Republican president was as smart as the AVERAGE Democratic president, and Richard M. Nixon was the only Republican president to match the I Q of ANY of these Democratic presidents. Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President GW Bush, his low ratings were due to his apparent difficulty to command 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. 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. This Page is part of a great Web of interrelated pages.
