This may have been around before, but I like the formatting and am testing to see if it translates.

<TD colSpan=2> <BR>A report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush - the dumbest President in the last century.<BR><BR>Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published its research to the educational<BR>community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ" report among others. There have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F.D. Roosevelt to G.W. Bush, who were rated based on scholarly achievements:<BR><BR>1. Writings that they produced without aid of staff<BR><BR>2. Their ability to speak with clarity, and several other psychological factors, which were then scored using theSwanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking.<BR><BR>The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points.<BR><BR>In order by presidential term:<BR><BR>Franklin Delano Roosevelt [D] 142,<BR>Harry S Truman [D] 132,<BR>Dwight David Eisenhower [R] 122<BR>John Fitzgerald Kennedy [D] 174,<BR>Lyndon Baines Johnson [D] 126,<BR>Richard Milhous Nixon [R] 155,<BR>Gerald R. Ford [R] 121,<BR>James Earle Carter [D] 175,<BR>Ronald Wilson Reagan [R] 105<BR>George Herbert Walker Bush [R] 98,<BR>William Jefferson Clinton [D] 182,<BR>George Walker Bush [R] 91<BR><BR>In order of IQ rating:<BR>182 . . William Jefferson Clinton [D]<BR>175 . . James Earle Carter [D]<BR>174 . . John Fitzgerald Kennedy [D]<BR>155 . . Richard Milhous Nixon [R]<BR>147 . Franklin Delano Roosevelt [D]<BR>132 . . Harry S Truman [D]<BR>126 . . Lyndon Baines Johnson [D]<BR>122 . . Dwight David Eisenhower [R]<BR>121 . . Gerald R. Ford [R]<BR>105 . . Ronald Wilson Reagan [R]<BR>098 . . George Herbert Walker Bush [R]<BR>091 . . George Walker Bush [R]<BR><BR>The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest at 155. President<BR>George W. Bush rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91.<BR><BR>The six Democratic presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182.<BR><BR>President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126.<BR><BR>No president other than Carter [D] has released his actual IQ (176).<BR><BR>Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President G. W. Bush, his low ratings are due to his apparently difficult command of the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary [6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other<BR>presidents], his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an<BR>intellectual basis.<BR><BR>The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice<BR>stress confidence analysis.<BR><BR>"All the Presidents prior to George W. Bush had a least one book under their belt, and most had written several white papers during their<BR>education or early careers. Not so with President Bush," Dr. Lovenstein said. "He has no published works or writings, which made it<BR>more difficult to arrive at an assessment. We relied more heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public speaking."<BR><BR>The Lovenstein Institute of Scranton Pennsylvania think tank includes high caliber historians, psychiatrists, sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. Among their ranks are Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and Professor Patricia F. Dilliams, a world-respected psychiatrist. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
