And if you believe that, I can gess your IQ.
You need IQ 115 to study in a college and he did it with better grades then Al Gore.
have you ever read newspapers?
Did you see GW IQ test? Did you ever see any IQ test? Have you ever heard of IQ test that tried to estimate person's intelligence by "their ability to speak with clarity"? DId you ever hear about oral IQ test?
How do you orally measure IQ of a brilliant person with speach impediment - like Dan Quale or GW or Stephen Hawking? Have you never seen brilliant people who could not speak well or think quickly?
Do you have any idea? What IQ score means and how to use it? If you did, you would know that giving someone 147 or 182 with "accuracy" 5 by estimation is completely bogus.
IQ standard deviation is around 15 points.
So between 100 and 115 you have 34% of the population.
Between 115 and 130 you have 15.7%
2% of the population have IQ of 130 and higher. Every point above that has so much significance that you need specialized tests with thousands of questions (rather then dozens) for difference to be mathematically meaningfull. A guy of IQ 145 is 3 standard deviations above the mean and rare math reference will give you percentage - it stops at 3. A guy with 147 is several times smarter then 145 and what the hell 182 means, no one can tell. There are not enough people on the planet to express the ratio. And they are talking about 5 points accuracy based on personal opinion of a teleprompted rehearsed speach.
You people are so gullible...
