It takes a lot of brainpower to run a country, so take a look and see how these presidents stack up!
John Quincy Adams
At a score of 175, Harvard grad John Quincy Adams has the highest estimated IQ of all U.S. presidents. Studying all around the world and becoming fluent in seven languages, Adams became a lawyer without even completing law school.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson had an IQ of 160 and was a true Renaissance man. His achievements were in the areas of economics, architecture, food and wine, agriculture, paleontology, astronomy, music, and writing. Politically, he wrote the Declaration of Independence and doubled the size of the United States in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase.
James Madison
Even as the shortest US President, James Madison’ IQ definitely stacked up at 160. He was considered Princeton’s first graduate student even though he didn’t technically earn a degree, and he is called the “Father of the Constitution,” authoring the Bill of Rights.
John F. Kennedy
Graduating from Harvard in 1940 and having an IQ of 159.8, Kennedy won a Purple Heart in World War II for his heroic actions in the South Pacific, and was later elected to both the House and Senate. He was the second-youngest president in history and the first and only Catholic president.
Bill Clinton
With an IQ estimated to be 159, Clinton was born in Arkansas and later attended school at Georgetown, Oxford, and Yale. Becoming president in 1992, one of Clinton’s biggest achievements was the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
