What Do You Think Rick Perry's I Q Is?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[opihimoimoi]

1. He dithers with lawnmowing with illegals while the WORLD falls apart???

For that move...he gets a 60

[Hoyt]

2. Perry went to the same college as right wing bigot Neil Boortz. That ought to tell you something.

3. Does a simpleton fall in the...below 79 range?

If we were starting a country of a few hundred thousand people from scratch, with minimal income disparities and other equities that America doesn’t have (national health care), a flat tax might be OK. But in the real context of the United States, it is an obscene transfer of wealth. Rick Perry may be such a bubblehead that he doesn’t understand all this, but you can be sure that the people who sold him on the flat tax understand it.
Simplicity is for simpletons: a handy slogan for the ruling class that wants more of your money. Don’t be that simple.

4. The Further You Fall Below Eighty The Harder It Is To Function

[Mass]

11. So, 10 % of the population does not function?

No surprise we are called elitist, with views like that.

"Normal" IQ is between 85 and 115.
Borderline intellectual funcion is between 70 and 85.

26. 10%? Where did you get 10% from?

I also note the poster said "harder to function", not "does not function".

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. Thank You.

It hardly makes you an elitist to suggest a person with a I.Q < 80 shouldn't be president.

[treestar]

5. Average

That's where I would put it.

[beac]

6. I didn't vote b/c

"his shoe size" wasn't an option.

The man takes being an empty puppet to a whole new level.

7. Have to go with a different gradation - 86-95.

Certainly below average, and far enough below for it to be clearly noticeable, which means below 95. He is, OTOH, generally functional, which means over 85 - people with below 85 IQs often have great difficulties in the complex world, and don't rise to any significant position. Therefore, 86-95. Quite functional in a well-structured environment, where the basics of life are a given, i.e., conservativism. He doesn't have to make any hard decisions, just live by the decisions which are made for him. Everything is uh, bi-polar isn't the word I'm looking for...every question has only two answers - the revealed right answer, and everything else which is wrong. All those answers are in the Bible, and if he doesn't know the answer himself, he knows a preacher who can tell it to him. It makes life simple, and makes for great confidence, because he KNOWS that he is right.

What's that quote? The fools are cocksure, while the wise are full of doubt.

8. He doesn't know how to spell I Q

[JoePhilly]

9. About room temperature.

[Mass]

10. Stop insulting people with polls like that. He probably has an IQ above 100

and he does not care about people. I actually know a few people with an IQ of 140 who lack the most basic skills when it comes to find practical solutions which work.

I also know wonderful people whose IQ does not read the 85 that is traditionally the lower limit of average)

19. I Am Not Insulting Anybody. I Expect And Demand My Leaders Be Of At Least Average Intelligence

on edit- being venal and being stupid are not mutually exclusive as Riok Perry demonstrates.

[golfguru]

12. Lower than my bowling scores

and I am a lousy bowler!!!

[win_in_06]

13. Significantly lower than his predecessor in the Texas Governor's Mansion

or Ranch.

[onpatrol98]

14. What...no negative numbers????

[WheelWalker]

15. Same as a Hemlock stump. nt

[Sheepshank]

16. Dumb ass

the IQ floats depending on the question.

[backscatter712]

17. Room temperature...

in Celsius.

[ellisonz]

20. Evil. n/t

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. Equal to the average margin of error.

[Joe Bacon]

22. Rick Perry has an I.Q.?????????

:rofl:

[Stuckinthebush]

23. Using which IQ test?

The Army Beta? His IQ would be 130 to 140

IQ tests are inherently flawed and somewhat meaningless. Qualitatively, Rick Perry is a dim bulb. Quantitatively he may score very high on some subscales and low on others.

[libinnyandia]

24. Perry voters' iq

What I'm more interested in is the average IQ of people who vote for Perrymore than omce. The average IQ of Texans must be pretty low. W and Perry.

[LiberalFighter]
