Bush IQ higher than Kerry's?

(Hat tip: Command Post.)

Two different sets of tests have been used to estimate George W Bush's IQ as "in the mid 120s". Kerry's IQ is estimated at 120.

Now recall the standard deviation on any given test is going to be a few points in either direction, and the two estimates are within the margin of error. The two could be equally intelligent.

And recall, also, the left does not believe IQ tests mean anything unless Republicans score low on them, in which case they determine all.

There was a rumor going around that Bush had an IQ score of 91. The same people who assure us that IQ means nothing thought this number was very meaningful in Bush's case.

It occurs to me that if we assume the number was in base 14, that works out to 127, which is right in the ballpark. Though why Bush would have taken an IQ test administered by Hogan's Ganymean aliens is another question entirely.
