Okay, the I.Q. test wasn't developed until about 1912. Widespread standardized testing didn't come about until much later!

How can the ascribe an I.Q. score to someone who was dead before the concept of Intelligence Quotient was even developed?

Also, for George W. Bush (reported I.Q. of 120) is said to have dyslexia and if his score is based on his actual I.Q. test, it would actually be several points higher. I.Q. test don't take into account reading problems associated with dyslexia.

There are different types of IQ.  I have a brainiac relative with two PhD's that I know of.   

It's the opinion of most of the family that he has a high IQ and no common sense or intuition.  His wife barely finished high school and has supported the family as a real estate agent, while he's always going off on half baked schemes never getting anywhere.

The very term "IQ" is denigrating to actual smart and accomplished people. It was set up by academia just like Hollyweird created the Oscars, self congratulatory bull shit, a way of claiming status above others for having done absolutely nothing.
Remember, those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.

Why would they include speeches? Modern presidents have speechwriters.

Used TP doesn't though, and neither does the article.
