A poll for a national and local IQ test for elected and nonelected leaders.

[Ray9]

As you may have noticed, the national IQ in the United States appears to be plummeting especially among politicians, law makers, news organizations, college administrators, and medical experts. During a worldwide pandemic, Millions of undocumented people are being encouraged to flood the country right in front of those who depend on these people to protect them from threats that could kill them and their families. Obviously, there is a drop in cognitive reasoning in America among its leaders.

In addition, while America's borders are wide open, Congress appears to be pressing for aggression against a nuclear-armed enemy claiming that it is violating the borders of an irrelevant, corrupt country in Eastern Europe.

Would anyone support a petition requiring all political leaders, Judges, medical experts, college faculty, and legislators local and national, to take a standard IQ test administered by qualified psychiatric non-political organizations and publish the results? The outcome might explain the dire circumstances the country is in.

This way whenever a political hopeful runs for office, his or her IQ will appear right next to their name when they "approve this message".

Our IQ was lowered by Big Oil, DuPont & GM's plot to ban alternative energy. They mixed lead into gasoline & paint polluting our air, soil, water, food, homes & people.

LOL You actually think the right would benefit from something like this.

An aunt of mine had an over two hundred IQ but not a lick of sense. She entered college at 15 even and that was when one actually had to have some intelligence to get into the colleges.

Another thing in many parts of the country is a lack of iodine. You may not agree but when you start shooting children up before they are two days old and continue on with seventy plus vaccines through their childhood you are damaging their brains too.

No one's trying to ban "alternative energy" sources, for crying out loud!

Low IQ Alert!

A high IQ is no guarantee of wisdom.

Greed, lethargy, and apathy overshadow any of these "peoples" IQ.

What good is an IQ, if they are going to sell their souls to Satan, Communism, greed, and/or evil?

IQ's don't need to be tested.........loyalty, honesty, wisdom, and compassion need to be tested.
If you fail, you lose everything. EVERYTHING. And you are branded useless and worthless and can never hold a job in the USA again.

Bullshit! Standard Oil Rockefeller paid & pushed the US government to ban ethanol with prohibition laws. Without ethanol, gasoline would knock in engines unless lead was added.

That shit would disqualify the right's insurrection caucus.

Growing crops for Ethanol leads to more chemicals in the environment and thus lower IQ's too.

I would actually like to add another test...

A very complete psychological evaluation to weed out the crazy-assed Democrats...

They exhibit enough traits that would have confined them to a mental asylum a few decades ago!!!!!

 

[RodISHI]

Drug testing would be what I'd add. How many legislators drugged either by legal or illegal drugs?

Are you not aware that all crops raised use chemicals to grow? The grains used for ethanol are processed and still used as feed for animals. Animals take chemicals and I guess by yer standards lowers IQ, lol...

Horrible idea. For one thing, an IQ test is no indication of governing abilities.

That being said, the idea of a license for a political scientist (aka politician) may be something worth considering. We license doctors, lawyers, even beauticians...it seems odd that we don't require a license for those who are guardians of the peoples' trust. When someone wants to run for office, their political party checks to see if they have a license. You'd get this license by subjecting yourself to a full screening process--the same way State Boards check to see if you did graduate from medical school before you get a license to practice medicine in a state. Once "licensed", you can run for any office for which you're otherwise qualified relative to age and location of residence. If you are found to have been....I don't know....impeached once or twice....you would lose your license. You could run for office again, of course, but it would be known that you are not a licensed politician.

You aren't qualified to make that decision. You voted for Rump, probably twice and he ain't exactly brilliant. A criminal doesn't need to have a high IQ, he just needs to be a criminal.

Chemiclas from farming get into the water supply and the air. Even the rain water now is full of glyphosate. It also lowers the actual nutritional value of food its in including animal products. Nutrient deficiencies also lowers the overall IQ's.

Glyphosate Effects on Plant Mineral Nutrition, Crop Rhizosphere Microbiota, and Plant Disease in Glyphosate-Resistant Crops

Claims have been made recently that glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops sometimes have mineral deficiencies and increased plant disease. This review evaluates the literature that is germane to these claims. Our conclusions are: (1) although there is conflicting ...

The political Left (led by Teachers' unions) does not believe in IQ tests, largely because they score so badly on them.

They also abhor the fact that IQ explains much of that dreadful commodity, "INEQUALITY," and it could easily explain the various "gaps" between so-called "white" people and those of us with black African ancestry. I speak of course of income gap, academic gap, wealth gap, and the dearth of such people in fields such as Actuary, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and so on.

The problem with measuring (and publishing) IQ scores is PREJUDICE. If you know that some "leader" has an IQ of, say 100, then you tend to give less credence to his ideas, thoughts, and opinion, even though they could be valuable. Better not to know.

And as for the lurking Presence behind the question - The President of the United States - he was NEVER very bright, as anyone who ever heard him blathering on in the Senate clearly understood. One must always remind oneself that Joe Biden DID NOT win the last Presidential election. "Not Donald Trump" won the election and Biden was simply in that position and took advantage of it by not campaigning -which would have reminded people of what a Dunce he was/is.
