Re: Candidates IQ... I would think Obama has an higher IQ than McCain. McCain really isn't that smart. He isn't GW Bush dumb though.

Re: Candidates IQ... Eh, those tests are never really that accurate. Unless they each took the same exact test on the same day, it doesn't really tell you anything.

Re: Candidates IQ... They give some guidance in that you can generally say a person has a high intelligence or a low one -- but to compare actual numbers is kind of silly. Besides, you can learn how to take these tests, just like you can learn how to get better scores on the SAT by learning how to read the questions and narrow down your choices.

But like I said, all that really tells you is that both of us are above average. It doesn't mean I'm smarter than you by 3 points. If we had taken the tests on a different day we would have gotten different scores. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

Re: Candidates IQ... Quote: Democratic Presidential Candidate IQ Scores
Barack Obama - Estimated IQ Score Range: 121 - 137
Hillary Rodham Clinton - IQ Score = 140
Joe Biden - IQ Score = 121
Chris Dodd's IQ Score = 123
John Edwards' IQ Score = 124
Mike Gravel - Estimated IQ Score Range: 115 - 122
Dennis Kucinich's Estimated IQ Score Range: 116 - 126
Bill Richardson's Estimated IQ Score Range: 124 - 133
Republican Presidential Candidate IQ Scores
Sam Brownback's IQ Score of 110
Rudy Giuliani - IQ Score of 123.
Mike Huckabee's Estimated IQ Score Range: 110 - 125
Duncan Hunter's Estimated IQ Score Range: 120 - 130
John McCain's Estimated IQ Score Range: 115 - 125
Ron Paul's Estimated IQ Score Range: 130 - 140
Mitt Romney - IQ Score = 122
Tom Tancredo - IQ Score = 119
Fred Thompson - IQ Score = 123
First of all, they're estimates based most likely on speech patterns and such. None of this is even based on real IQ tests. Secondly, there's no one exceptional in the group relative to the others except for Clinton's score, and the upper ranges of Obama's and Ron Paul's. So by one method's estimates of scores of a test which measures intelligence (to an extent) there are only slight variations. It's quite a silly thing to go by.

Re: Candidates IQ... McCain is a decently smart man.
One can not call him a stupid idiot like Bush really...
You can hate him all you want but he is not stupid.
