Ronald Reagan – 141.9
From 1981 to 1989, Ronald Reagan was in office as the 40th President of the United States. Among other things, he earned a name for himself thanks to his Reaganomics economic policy. It focused on lower social spending, domestic markets deregulation, high military spending, and widespread tax cuts. Seeing as he had an IQ of 141.9, Reagan fell somewhere between the bottom and quarter and half when compared to his fellow presidents. He also deserves credit for the Iran-Contra affair and the end of the Cold War. He gave an iconic speech at the Berlin Wall during which he told Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev to “tear down this wall!”

Reagan’s Assassination Attempt
On March 30th, 1981, an attempt was made on the life of President Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr. Unlike what you think, the would-be-assassin took a shot at the president in order to impress young actress Jodie Foster. The president was hit by a ricocheted bullet, but he survived. Later he would say to his wife, “I forgot to duck.”
