Sure as heck doesn’t come across as anywhere near 166 or 172, and I believe it is ‘Stanford-Binet’. He’s not a dope either, and he’s said to have graduated Summa, which I understand to be in the top 10%, from HLS.

He’s quoted as saying that he’s been a beneficiary of AA himself, and it appears he needed to start at a ‘safety school’ before transferring to Columbia as an undergrad. For an African American at that time, that of course wasn’t the highest of bars.

But I believe those IQ tests like I believe anything from him or his campaign.

I'd be more interested in his psychometric testing after he gave up his cocaine habit.

Based on what I read of his wife's Princeton thesis, there wasn't any bar to clear at all in the Ivys in that era, except perhaps having a pulse.

I'm reminded of the Buckley quote that he'd rather be governed by the first 2000 names in thr Boston telephone directory than by the entire faculty of Harvard. This might explain the 57 states and creating oil with tire pressures, though.
