However, a bizarre website thats being cited by some Trump supporters claims that the presidents IQ score is 156 at the minimum.
The website in question was flagged this week by the Twitter user @Halalcoholism, who says that they learned about it by following the conversations of pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theorists who were trying to convince skeptics that the president really is a very stable genius.
Mr Trump was a student at Wharton when it was possible to derive and accurate IQ test scores from known SAT scores, the website claims. Given the usual requirements for admission to a top school like Wharton. I estimate that Mr. Trump has a 156 IQ at the minimum.

(146,329 posts)have large vocabularies that they can use without even trying. Trump's vocabulary is that of a fourth-grader. My guess is that his IQ is about 105. It may have been a little higher than that when he was younger, but not much. One thing's certain: It's on its way down now.

He said "I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers."

(4,612 posts)That's not to say that "smart" people aren't "really smart"- they are. But its about much more than a number, and the types of people who immediately jump to IQ as the most meaningful intelligence measure aren't even on the same planet as those with actual high IQ's, intelligence-wise.

(33,643 posts)His saying he graduated Wharton is like saying you graduated Harvard Law cause you had a couple courses pertaining to legal stuff at Harvard ... while working on your BA there.

Trump certainly doesn't have an MBA from anywhere, especially not Wharton.

(33,643 posts)Or if they do, and they're just completely full of shit.
Given that, as we know, everything surrounding IQ45's Cult of Personality is based on bullshit, divvied out to stupid people.
There likely not an undergrad program in this country where the average IQ of people in it ... is 156. Unless it's a tiny class, at a school doing something extremely specialized.
BTW, does anyone even KNOW Orange Anus' SAT scores? I've sure as hell never heard what they were.

(46 posts)Trump criticized Obama's grades but Michael Cohen sent letters to his alma maters, threatening to take legal action if any of Trumps own academic records were ever made public. Trump only got into the prestigious schools through the influence of his father Fred.
Donald Trump has a mobster intellect. He's street-savvy and book-dumb.

(2,154 posts)then multiply by 5/9. Comes out to just about 69. That sounds more like where his standard IQ should measure
