And the moment he's shown to have an IQ higher than that, you'll find a reason that IQ is no longer an important yardstick. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

These scores would give you an objective idea of the range of Obama's intelligence. Bush's SAT score showed that his IQ was in the superior, to very superior, range. If memory serves that was 125 to 131. There's no need to use a correlation method for McCain because we have an actual IQ test score of 133, which is very superior.

When Obama comes up with an IQ above 133, which is doubtful, we'll cross that bridge. In any case, we do have an objective measure on McCain and it shows him to be a man of very superior intellegence.

According to you. Did you know McCain managed to lose five (5) planes as a military pilot. I think it might be some sort of record. How about you? BTW, one of the few verified IQ's out there for political figures puts Hillary at 140+.
