You have got to be kidding……

“People will often be misled into thinking someone is brighter if he says something complicated they can’t understand,” Professor Gottfredson said.

Almost, but not quite: people will often be misled about someone’s intelligence because of how they look and sound on television.

I always wondered why Yale-grad Kerry went to Boston COllege law school, rather than a top tier school. And why he has refused to release his college records and SATs (not to mention hsi military records and his tax returns).

If you ever met Jack Welch of GE, you would quickly understand that a first class brain doesn’t necessarily show up as a first class speaker. And the converse is true—many a great speaking style masks a second-rate intellect—Joe Biden, for example….

I can take aguess at what Kerry’s SAT looks like. A lot of unanswered questions.

Ok some of the word poblems are trick questions. But the straight math problems, though they can be solved with different apporoaches, have one answer - and every possible way to solve the problem does not have to be tried when you know you are gonna get the same answer.

Intelligence is basicly measured by ability to see through to a solution without distraction. Einstein was smart not because he could more quickly do a math problem 6 times in his head. He went with what he knew and discarded the rest, knowing there would be more questions to follow.

****“People will often be misled into thinking someone is brighter if he says something complicated they can’t understand,” Professor Gottfredson said.****

People will often be mislead by lying politicians and liberal media. The last year or so is a fine example of epic perportions.

They didn’t have SAT tests in foreign schools.

John Kerry does have a SAL score (Stupid A** Liberal) which is up around 100. He finished in the top position on the bell curve.

Misunderestimated. Simple as that.

Try this on for size:

Bush 311
Kerry 227

Of lesser import:

Bush 52%
Kerry 47%

Bush carries Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Minnesota (Yes, Minnesota), Iowa, Wisconsin, Hawaii (Yes, Hawaii), Ohio and Florida.

Kerry carries Pennsylvania, Michigan and the usual People’s Republics of the Northeast and People’s Republics of the West Coast (except hawaii, astonishingly enough).

What’s more, There is the very real possibility that Kerry could lose New Hampshire and the outside possibility that he could lose New Jersey.

I think Florida is the only one that will be close enough to warrant a legal challenge (Maybe New Mexico, too) but even reversed, the Electoral Victory goes to Bush.

I just don’t think there are enough skeletal remains in either closet to have an 11th Hour Bombshell to greatly skew current numbers.

We’ll see on Wednesday.

IQ has nothing to do with good or bad, For instance, many evil serial killers are known to have a very high IQ.
