I'm the historical figure IQ reported to six significant figures.

Rutherford B. Hayes was definitely 133.925, not 133.926 or 133.924.

Seriously where is that chart from?

I really, really, want to see their methodology for that.

That's assuming there was at least an attempt to justify this based on 'their recorded writings etc' rather than someone pulling numbers out of their rear end. Which wouldn't surprise me.

i too give IQ tests to people that died long before they were even invented

William Henry Harrison and Rutherford B. Hayes, both of whom died before the IQ test was invented and lived half a century apart, had the exact same IQ down to three decimal points. This is a FACT.

If they were rough estimates of within an accuracy of 20 points using vocabulary from personal papers and eyewitness accounts, diaries etc. I could actually buy it as some sort of potentially useful thing

Edit: I see someone brought up the accuracy already and even used Hayes for some reason as the example, still

Eh, so I guess they'll just aggregate whatever state polls they can find like RCP and just plug them in? That's not a bad resource to have.

While 120 IQ is still a really drat high IQ (and I refuse to believe there haven't been any "average" Presidents because IQ is such a bullshit metric anyway), I resent this chart because Grant's memoirs are still really good reading if you're into the Civil War.

James Garfield could simultaneously translate and transcribe a spoken statement into Latin and Greek. That's gotta be up there just in terms of the nebulous overall-processing-power measurement that is IQ, right?

Every skill not asked by those bogus IQ tests is basically counting for nothing. He might be able to do this poo poo, but how well can he figure out number sequences? That's the real skill.

Eh, I think it is not quite so outlandish. Of the last 6 polls 5 had Clinton up by +2 to +10, one had a tie. The last poll with Trump leading (+6) is from mid-June. Problem: The newst poll is from early July, and all pollsters except Marist (newest and +6 Clinton) are of middling quality.

I don't think 120 IQ is that high because mine is 136 and while I am not an idiot I certainly wasn't going for a doctorate in nuclear physics or anything.

There's a lot going on in NC that would lead people to believe that it's going blue this year. We have the HB2 poo poo, our Governor being a general shithead, and the voter ID stuff. Add to that some favorable polling for Clinton, the Dem's GOTV efforts and you've got people thinking NC is headed blue.

That's because IQ is a stupid metric and has no relation to the skills (or pathologies) you need to become President.

it's because IQ is based on a gaussian curve, so just a few points can make a huge difference

120 IQ is top 10% while 136 is top 1%

obviously you don't have an IQ of 136 because you don't know this :rolleyes:
