Woodrow Wilson – 155.2

Woodrow Wilson was in office during the First World War from 1913 to 1921. The 28th President of the United States also helped create the Treaty of Versailles during the tail-end of the war. One of his most memorable quotes has to be, “At last the world knows America as the savior of the world!” He will forever be remembered for his efforts to push the U.S. to join the League of Nations, the predecessor of the United Nations. Unfortunately, Congress blocked this move back then and some people consider this to be part of the reason why World War II erupted. Wilson had an IQ of 155.2, which most likely helped him in seeing the country through World War I.

Jimmy Carter – 156.8

Jimmy Carter is the 39th President of the United States and he served from 1977 to 1981. He was born to a family of peanut farmers and he helped build up the business while fighting alongside the civil rights movement. This helped him launch a political career. Among other achievements during his administration, he launched both the Department of Energy and the Department of Education. He deserves credit for the Camp David Accords that led to the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. During the C-SPAN survey, he scored high when it comes to both moral authority and pursuing equal justice. When he was in office, Carter had to deal with international crises like the Iran Hostage Crisis and the 1979 Energy Crisis. Having to handle these events negatively affected his public persona and this ended with him losing the 1980 presidential race to the Republican candidate Ronald Reagan. Nonetheless, Carter was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for the efforts of his NGO, Carter Center. It turns out that his IQ is an impressive 156.8.
