Message: Entry: Can Barack Obama and Racist Pseudo Science Coexist? Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/can_barack_obama_and_racist_pseudo_science_coexist#26869 Post contents: I doubt Obama has an IQ much above 135 or so (still smarter than Bush, and much much smarter than JFK), but yes, you're right of course. BTW Lynn suggests African-Americans with no white admixture median IQ probably 80, 80+100/2 = median 90 for a half white half black American child. Since Obama's parents were both PhD grade students, albeit not in the toughest subjects, you can probably add around 30 points to that, for an expected median IQ ca 120. If he's IQ 135 that's only about 1 SD over the median expected IQ. Sent at: 2008 12 01
