Report: President Bush Has Lowest IQ of all Presidents of past 50 Years
This is from The Pennsylvania Court Observer
University Notes
Contributors: Cristina L. Brenstein, Lana Taamar

If late night TV comedy is an indicator, then there has never been as widespread a perception that a president is not intellectually qualified for the position he holds as there is with President G W Bush.

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 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 50 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:

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 HW Bush (R)
182 William J. Clinton (D)
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 IQ, at 155. President G. W. Bush was 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 were due to his apparent difficulty to command the English language in public statements [much like the republican backers at the RX], his limited use of vocabulary [again, eerily similar to republican backers at the RX] (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, so in many ways that made it more difficult to arrive at an assessment. We had to rely 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.

This study was commissioned on February 13, 2001 and released on July 9, 2001 to subscribing member universities and organizations within the education community

A couple of questions:

1) What is the Swanson/Crain analysis? Never heard of it.

2) What is the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton? Never heard of it.

3) If Lovenstein Institute has been doing IQ tests on Presidents since 1973, why have they waited until now to publish them?

4) Who is Werner Lovenstein? Never heard of him.

5) Who is Patricia F Dilliams? Never heard of her.

6) What other historians, historians, psychiatrists and sociologists are on staff at this high-powered think tank?

This is the most ridiculous thread I've seen on here. What a joke, you libs get more desperate by the day. You all know it's slipping away, swiftboat by swiftboat. It will for sure be over if Bush mentions anything about upholding the immigration laws we currently have in this country in his convention speech. If he makes it a point in the speech, game, set, match.

Rob .....I guess you believe every chain e-mail you receive ?

This article is a FAKE.

Go to snopes.com and type in "presidents IQ test" and read all about this.

This is a great site to disprove stupid crap.

"When asked if Bush knew which side of the stage he was suppose to exit, he made an L with his index finger and thumb on both hands and held them up, even after seeing the L on his left hand, he still exited off the wrong side of the stage."
