Thread I saw on another message board: Will Tim Tebow be President one day?

[Mickalino]

Nope, he's not eligible in any common interpretation.

That's what you think.

But he'll be baack.

[Smoot Point Really]

:secret: Look at the previous President.

I'll take common sense over whatever the heck people think our current President has.

[ACW]

I'll take common sense over whatever the heck people think our current President has.

Bush didn't have common sense.

[Hooper]

Heath Shuler didn't have the smarts to play QB in the pros, but had the smarts to become a House Rep, so there's hope.

Exactly.

And Tebow is a slower and even less accurate version of Shuler so he'll be able to get started on that political career much sooner I bet.

[SonOfWashington]

Yep. And let's not forget that Obama was born in Kenya to non-US parents. Proof that you don't even need to meet the minimum criteria.

[Perky72]

That's what you think.

But he'll be baack.

hehe

It's amazing how two future Governors were in Predator. And Sonny Landham who was also in it ran in the GOP primary for Kentucky Governor a few years back.

[Mickalino]

So we can't hate on Favre, but hating on Tebow is a-okay?

All I did was refer to Tebow as being a Gay-tor.

Never said there was anything wrong with that.

[IHOPSkins]

Well since Tebow has called a play in the huddle......He has at least as much executive experience as Obama

[GoSkins561]

The previous president was not an idiot. Don't kid yourself.

Kind of suprised to see you say this, my wife use to call him an idiot all of the time, I would always reply, "idiots dont get into Yale then go on to be The POTUS".

Thought this was interesting.

So, does a 1206 (566 Verbal, 640 Math) truly mean you're as dumb as a box of

rocks?

First, any current college students reading this need to remember that SAT

scores beginning in 1996 were artificially inflated. So, do not assume that

your elders' relatively unimpressive results are objective proof that they

really are moronic as they may appear to you.

Second, although tables are readily available to convert SAT scores into

percentile rankings, they are not realistic since people who know they are

not college material do not take the SAT. Therefore, I asked my Human

Biodiversity e-mail discussion group how Bush would stack up compared to the

entire American public, not just SAT-takers.

In reply, Charles Murray noted that everybody except dropouts takes the

Pre-SAT. From the PSAT Murray calculates, "A Verbal 566 puts Bush at about

the 95th percentile of juniors & seniors ..., while 640 on Math puts him at

about the 98th percentile." In other words, only one out of 20 people would

out perform the candidate on the verbal part of the test, and only one out

of 50 on the numeric portion. Although SAT scores and IQ scores do not

coincide perfectly, Bush's SAT score would roughly project to an IQ in the

125-130 range.

IQ Scores & Ratings

What is a good IQ score? What is a high IQ score? What is a low IQ score? These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test.

Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:

Over 140 - Genius or near genius

120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence

110 - 119 - Superior intelligence

90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence

80 - 89 - Dullness

70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency

Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness

Normal Distribution & IQ Scores

The properties of the normal distribution apply to IQ scores:

50% of IQ scores fall between 90 and 110

70% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115

95% of IQ scores fall between 70 and 130

99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140

High IQ & Genius IQ

Genius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145, representing ~.25% of the population (1 in 400). Here's a rough guide:

115-124 - Above average (e.g., university students)

125-134 - Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)

135-144 - Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)

145-154 - Genius (e.g., professors)

155-164 - Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)

165-179 - High genius

180-200 - Highest genius

>200 - "Unmeasurable genius

Just for comparison, with a IQ of 130 to 148 Obama falls into the gifted to genius range.

This was from an article in the Orlando Sentinel, where the author, Mike Bianchi, claims he will be President.

Here is his article for anyone interested:

Hey, look at me, I'm an intellectual and a genius. WooHoo!

Maybe I can be Presidentz.

[Mickalino]

You gotta become a Modz, before you can go for Presidentz

[Bubble Screen]

No. He will be the next QB of the Florida Tuskers.

[Mickalino]

No. He will be the next QB of the Florida Tuskers.

Championship

[Koolblue13]

You gotta become a Modz, before you can go for Presidentz

I could never do it. I am way to impatient with some of the threads and posts in the Stadium. I could Modz the Tailgates, much more civilized in here, but then who the hell would keep me in line?

[Destino]

I'm hesitant to vote for the QB at a party school. Maybe in 20 years he'll have accomplished something meaningful... nothing done on a athletic field qualifies anyone for leadership position in the government.

[GibbsFactor]

And just think, 5 minutes into his inauguration speech, the entire world would be a better place.

[Mickalino]

Seriously tho, the abortion opponents would wage an all-out war against this guy.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

I don't think he has the mechanics for it.

[Mickalino]

I don't think he has the mechanics for it.

And he's an attention-whore too, so he would spend much of his Presidency doing publicity shots with Brett Favre.

[Predicto]

Kind of suprised to see you say this, my wife use to call him an idiot all of the time, I would always reply, "idiots dont get into Yale then go on to be The POTUS".

I have defended GW Bush's intelligence on this board many times, though I question many of his decisions on the merits.

I should add that "getting into Yale" really didn't mean anything back in 1964, when Bush went there, because he went to Phillips Andover prep boarding school. Back then, virtually the entire graduating class of Phillips Andover was accepted to Yale, every single year. The whole purpose of the school was to feed the children of the rich and famous into Yale. If your family got you into PA, PA automatically put you in Yale.

Things have changed a lot since then, but back when Bush got in, there were automatic admissions to Yale for the children of the power elite of our country.

The SAT analysis you posted is also messed up, but it's not really worth going into now.

Ugh. Mike Bianchi, the Orlando Sentinel's "sports columnist" who's actually a graduate from UF and just writes pro-Gator and anti-Miami/FSU columns all the time.

Mega-Merge the Tebow threads

[VTmike]

The previous president was not an idiot. Don't kid yourself.

Tebow apparently got below 900 on the SATs - on his second try, after prepping heavily for the test. That's pretty awful.

Either way it's pretty terrible.

Yep. And let's not forget that Obama was born in Kenya to non-US parents. Proof that you don't even need to meet the minimum criteria.

But he's an Arab too right? :paranoid:
