"GPA: 3.1" http://www.arches.uga.edu/~kdaher/1100KatherineD45030.doc

Does this mean she's going to be president?

Scary. :eek:

Kind of makes you wonder what kinds of classes these people are taking.

My brother's overall GPA in university was 3.9 :D

A bachelor's degree in Song and Dance (WTF?) and only a 3.1? You show up and you get an A!

"Britney Spears is smarter than Bush and Kerry"

Combined??? :eek:

My brother's overall GPA in university was 3.9 :D
Mine as an undergrad was as well 3.96

The page says "done" without loading anything when I click on it.

But geez... if Bush and Kerry both got LESS than a 3.1 GPA...??

Oh, but so many people believe a President doesn't need to be very intelligent. I've heard this more and more - coincidentally, only since Bush was first elected.

Yeah, that's right. Intelligence - the quality without which humanity would be grunting and humping each other in trees and agriculture, cities, medicine, philosophy, art, writing, architecture, politics would all be alien concepts - is an "optional" quality for being President of the Free World <sic>.

Diehard supporters of either Kerry or Bush will agree.

Edit: Or, they will deny the validity and claim Bush is a genious. (They are also likely to use that spelling.)

Mines 3.86... and I know Im smarter trhan spears...Im just lazy... :p

As far as I know someone has yet to come up with a generally accepted definition of 'intelligence'. So there's still hope for both Bush and Kerry ;)

I'd say IQ is generally accepted.

At least, if someone says to you "this dude has an IQ of 60" and you look and see a drooling guy in a wheelchair, you don't say "Hmm, I disagree, he might be much closer to above average intelligence!"?

Granted that's extreme, but it's one gauge anyway. There's question of it's validity across language and species barriers... but presumably that's not a problem with either of these two American homo sapiens no?

I say, IQ tests for all politicians!

And.... lie detectors at all times.

Neither will ever come to pass... it would discriminate against stupid liars.

IQ tests can't really predict professional success (too many other factors involved that are much more important), they're mainly helpful in predicting scholastic achievement.
