<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Being the president of the United States is a very responsible matter, and a person who meets certain criteria, including being very intelligent, can get to this post. At least, this is what is commonly believed in society. But did all US presidents have a high IQ? And which of them was the smartest? And whose abilities correspond to the average statistical indicator of an ordinary American?</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Despite the fact that the dispute about how to really effectively measure human intelligence still persists, a more optimal option than testing for the "intelligence quotient" has not yet been invented.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Estimated IQ scores of US presidents, each of whom was in power at one time, were published in 2006 in the journal Political Psychology based on research by University of California professor Dean Simonton. Of course, it is quite difficult to reliably "measure intelligence" or its lack in presidents, and especially those who have already died. But the professor made evaluations on the basis of personal qualities described in biographies, which indicated a higher intellectual development than the average level of intelligence, such as "inventive", "complex", "artistic", "wise", and "perceptive". So the results are as follows.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">So the most intelligent president of the United States was John Adams, who was the second in this position and was in power from 1797 to 1801. His IQ is 173. He studied law at Harvard and was an early supporter of the movement for the independence of the United States from the British. Adams is remembered for his diplomatic skills, including the fact that he negotiated a number of peace agreements to avoid war with France.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Second on the list of the smartest presidents was Thomas Jefferson, with an IQ of 160. Although he had problems with oratory, according to White House records, he was an American founding father, serving from 1801 to 1809. As a staunch advocate of rights, Jefferson was opposed to a strong centralized government. But one of his first initiatives as president was the abolition of the unpopular whiskey tax.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">The 35th president John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who did not stay in office for 3 years after he was assassinated in 1963, is considered the third among the smartest politicians. His IQ was determined at 158. Kennedy was remembered as president for his successful fiscal programs, which greatly contributed to the economy, and his significant contribution to the improvement of civil rights.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">The fourth most intelligent among the presidents was Bill Clinton, his IQ was estimated at 156. He came to power in 1992 and stayed in office until 2001. Clinton is remembered for his mediation efforts that contributed to peace in Ireland and the Balkans. But, of course, we will also remember him for the high-profile sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky, a 22-year-old White House intern.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">The five most intelligent presidents are closed by James Madison, one of the fathers of the Constitution, who had an IQ of 155.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">But George W. Bush has the lowest IQ, he was estimated at 91 points. According to the professor's conclusion, the intelligence of the 43rd president does not differ from the level of the average American. Of course, this study is missing the indicators of at least 3 presidents - Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden, which would possibly change the ranking of the smartest or least smart politicians.</p>

Which president is the smartest and which is less educated? IQ rating of US presidents

<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">This incredible story once again proved that sometimes life is full of impressive scenarios that even famous Hollywood screenwriters would hardly be able to invent.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">American Lisa Wright always knew that she was adopted, but she never looked for her biological mother or her relatives. According to the woman, she always felt tenderness and care from her adoptive parents, so she did not feel the need to look for biological relatives. From conversations with them, Lisa only knew that her biological mother gave birth to her at 18, but could not take care of her, so she gave her up for adoption. But since the adoption was closed, Wright didn't even know her name. However, the woman did not even suspect that she had been watching her mother on TV every day since childhood.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Lisa grew up and had a child of her own, and when she was 54, her son suggested she take a DNA test and participate in 23andMe. Wright agreed and was very surprised to be told shortly afterward that her supposed uncle had been found. Lisa called a man named Carlton Moody, who told her about the family. He told her that her mother had moved to Los Angeles because she dreamed of going to Hollywood. Then she became pregnant, and since she was very young, she gave her daughter up for adoption. The uncle also said that the whole family had been looking for Liza for many years. But when Carlton mentioned the name of Lynn Moody's mother, Wright realized that it was very familiar to her and began to search for information on Google. When the woman saw the photos on the Internet, she was shocked, because her mother was her idol in her childhood, she starred in the TV series that the girl loved to watch at that time.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Her mother had a good acting career. She starred in one season of the series "This is my mother", and in the mini-series "Roots" and its continuation "Roots: The Next Generation". And also had roles in "Soap", "Hill Street Blues", "General Hospital" and "Knots Landing".</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">And a few minutes after the conversation with her uncle, Liza's mother called. Tears of happiness prevented the women from talking, so they decided not to waste time and meet the next day.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/tv/COlCabrBVZT/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;
