The 13 Smartest Presidents in U.S. History
DejaVu, I fixed your link so it works. If the cite isn't underlined it won't work. You can correct it yourself by just highlighting it and underlining.
That said, I don't buy the list at all. You can't estimate IQ at this kind of a distance reliably, in my opinion. In the case of Franklin Roosevelt, for example, he only got "gentlemen's C's" at university. Before I believe IQ data, I want to see either actual score results, or SAT scores, or grades in rigorous courses at university.
Using that criteria, the only one I'd be inclined to believe is Jimmy Carter because he graduated in nuclear engineering, if my memory serves. Meanwhile, I don't think he was a very good President. Once a person has a certain base IQ, I think other qualities are much more important.
I forgot to mention that if Richard Nixon isn't on that list (sorry, I didn't look at all the screens), then it really is bogus. From what I remember his was the highest score ever recorded for the notoriously difficult New York State Bar Exam, the test for admission to practice as an attorney in New York. Now, that means something to me.
Obviously, morality and intellect don't necessarily go hand in hand either.
