In reply to the discussion: Does anybody really believe Drumpf has an I Q of 154 ? [View all]wildeyed
(11,243 posts)154 is nearly impossible due to relatively low ceilings on the subtest. A score like that is crazy, freaky smart, and across the board in all areas. Processing speed and working memory are important component of modern IQ tests, and the guy has the focus and memory of a squirrel. Come on! The guy can't even remember which lie he is telling on any particular day. A genius would do better. Now PUTIN might very well have an IQ of 154. That I would believe.
The older Stanford-Binet LM tended to yield much higher scores than modern tests. When people are bragging on a score that is as high as the one you mention, I assume they took the older tests.
Older SAT scores, particularly the verbal score, are considered a cut-rate IQ test. But we don't know what his SAT scores were. Since he only seems to use the words Great! and Terrific! to describe a positive feeling, I would assume his were not great or terrific.
