President Bush's measured IQ Level?

I believe it's Category 4.

As mentioned in the other answer. His SAT scores would suggest his IQ
is about 129, which if I remember correctly would classify him as
"gifted", ie. belonging to the top 10 pct of the population.
Remember that the meaning of the actual number varies locally. A
country with only one citizen will by definition have an IQ of exactly
100 if I remember correctly.
A person who explains actions of terrorists by saying "They are evil
people who hate our freedom" has a fairly simplistic view of the
world. If such a person had an IQ of 129, that would be kinda sad for
the rest of that countrys population.

I make an effort to do two things: provide insight into the original
question and reply to the last posting. I Start with the latter.

The posting has no relevance to the purpose of the forum which is
finding a serious answer to a specific question. The difficulty Poster
has with relevance shows also from the contents of his or her message.
Poster uses this forum to ventilate unsubstantiated political
messages. This is rather inappropriate since he or she does not intend
to answer the question. Instead, it uses the question as a vehicle to
influence or impress an assumed gullible audience.

Poster judges from a distance in a denigrating manner without letting
us know where his wisdom comes from. He or she insults a whole nation
in doing so: the sneering approach shows that trying to impress others
has more attraction than contributing constructively. Understand that
sneering and smirking are merely the modern way of showcasing one´s
confusion and anxiety.

Regarding the contents: connecting IQ to someone´s belief system shows
an unreliable method of thinking and lack of knowledge regarding the
topic, since IQ tests test aptitudes and insights. Not values, morals
or common sense.

Beliefs can?t be judged by standards since beliefs are all about what
is right and what is wrong. The benchmark for what is right or wrong
lies within the individual human mind and heart. Therefore, the
exclusivity to assess beliefs on truth can?t be present in one person
nor in a group of people. Beliefs are highly complex, personal
constructs that are dependent on circumstances for their level of
usefulness. Let´s not our idea as tow hat is right has anything to do
with truth. A truth is something like when you lower yourself in water
you get wet.

Finally, when the original question ´What?s president?s Bush IQ?´
stems from a genuine curiosity on what drives a leader to make certain
decisions, instead of trying to find out what his IQ is, we better get
behind what has formed his or her belief system. How? By reading
(honest, well informed, intelligent)  biographies told from different
perspectives, and learn historic facts and myths so all can be set in
a context and then held against your own values and expectations.

Experience shows that when we understand where a person is coming from
their decisions start making more sense. Remember: the world is
difficult as it is, so we need all the help we can get to do away with
destructive attitudes and methods of which quick denigrating judgment
is one. Such approach stems from a lack of proper information and at
the emotional level, an anxious disposition. Anxiety comes from being
unsure so to find answers, informing oneself using serious sources and
honourable methods is a well tried remedy.

Howdy Factsnoga-ga,

If I may quote something I just read:

"The posting has no relevance to the purpose of the forum which is

The concept of IQ now largely disregarded as a measure of
intelligence, and Multiple Intelligence is partly replacing it. This
measures a range of abilities rather than 'logic' of the IQ test.
Good leaders don't need intelligence particularly, they need (and
usually have) the abilty to take decisions. It really is irrelevant
whether these are right or wrong decisions, they are a course of
action when something needs to be done.
Churchill was a good decision maker in that he could make decisions
even when not knowing the outcome of them; some decisions were
dreadful. He was a school failure.
Mrs Thatcher was quite intelligent (chemist, magistrate) and was a
'good' decision maker who made awful decions. Intelligent people think
about the outcome of their decisions so hesitate. Such people are not
good politicians. In this case 'good' means being able to operate in
unpredictable circumstances, not good in the sense of making the best
decions. Such people will commonly work the basis on what they feel is
best for themselves as against what is best for the majority.
If the time comes when science can predict the 'best' move in social
situations, then politics will be outmoded, unless of course
politicians gain control of science.

Boy we could have a butt-load of fun with this one couldn't we??

It all depends on who does the IQ test.  

If the jihadis are doing it, then they would take his head first and
conduct the test but then the test could not be done.

If the Israel's are doing it, he would get about 487 IQ.  They have
develped a technique to test IQ even from ones photographs.

If the Brits are to do it again he would get 486 IQ

But if the IQ test is to be done by the American people - where would he stand?

President Bush's Measure IQ.

I.Q. tests and all other forms of "measurement" of intelligence are
simply exercises in control where people of power subjugate the
powerless and are supported by self appointed "experts" who compile
and validate these tests and suckle from the people in power.  Just my
rudimentary observation.  The value of such expercises is limited to
communicating to the test taker what his position in society is or
will be and the test questions themselves may show somewhat the values
of the society which may or may not be what is best for it.
Bush's IQ is besides the point really.  He's got a record of multiple
costly  failures in business and associate multiple bailouts by
friends of his family.  Taking into account the fact that he has
already taken more vacation time than any other president, I'd say he
has a documented history of "just doesn't care".  Which is worse than
having an IQ of 90.
