Provide a link (to a legit source) confirming that was Bush's score.

I find it hard to believe.


Is UP a legit source? Just to depress you some more, according to the
story, because of score inflation, his score would equate to a 1280 today,
which is the 88th percentile today.

Also of note in the article you linked:

On the other hand, Simonton didn't see much evidence that Bush tries hard to
use the brains he's got. "He has very little intellectual energy or
curiosity, relatively few interests, and a dearth of bona fide aesthetic or
cultural tastes." Simonton speculated that this could suggest a low level of
"openness to experience."

Indeed, despite being the scion of an elite family with worldwide
connections, Bush's hobbies appear limited to not much more than running,
fishing and baseball. His biographers state, however, that he has paid
relentless attention to structuring organizations and assessing the people
who could fill them.

Simonton also suggested, "Bush scores extremely low on integrative
complexity. ... This is the capacity to look at issues from multiple
perspectives and to integrate that diverse outlook into a single coherent
viewpoint. ... Bush finds it hard to view the world in other way than his
own. That's why he's so hard to engage in a genuine debate. He can say 'I
hear you,' but he really can't."
