when asked if he were smart enough to be President!
Maybe we don't have an official IQ test, but we want our Presidents to at least be in the Average range!

(15,237 posts)His answers especially on the verbal scale of a Wechsler could be most revealing.

(36,926 posts)I would guess he's at the lower limits of the Low Average range on the Verbal scale.

(15,237 posts)Tend to agree, the Performance Scale may well be low, that is where I sometimes get surprised almost never on Verbal Scale.

(36,926 posts)What I love are the unexpected pleasant surprises. Once I tested an inner city kid for LD, during the time when special education still used the discrepancy formula. Anyway, That kid tested in the Very Superior range! I tried to get him in the gifted program, but alas his academic scores were too low.

(15,237 posts)He blew off academics deliberately. I saw that happen once never again.
Perry is not hiding anything. What you see is what you get no one could ever claim he is hiding intellect

(36,926 posts)The amazing thing is that he and his handlers still think he has a shot at even getting the nomination, much less the presidency.

MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)a pass though. Like Perry I suspect dimson is in the Low Average range.
I think that was the first implication, for me, that he wasn't up to the degree of intellect necessary for the position. And when he got into office, I knew we were in for some hard times on all levels.
If either Jeb or Perry ever get into office, I think it might be time to cash in our chips before the worst of "it" hits the fan.

BTW, Squatty Wanker is no genius either ...
"This sediment (sic) that all men are is equal is evidenced in the Republican Party's current platform of equal taxes on all, and opportunity for all regardless of race, gender, or age ... Contrast that with the tenants (sic) of the (sic) Barack Obama and the Democrat (sic) party ... "
