Woodrow Wilson | 152

An academic by heart, we expect Woodrow Wilson to have a high IQ. He did not disappoint as the 28th president of the US, as the leader of the country’s Progressive Movement had an IQ of 152. Usually, academics like him find it difficult to connect with other people, but Wilson could connect with almost everyone through his very articulate manner of communication. Many actually remember him for his speech delivered in Congress, “Fourteen Points”, which was timed towards the end of World War I.

Wilson also made significant investments in being one of the founders of the League of Nations, the predecessor to today’s UN. Prior to becoming president in 1913, he also served as the president of the prestigious Princeton University and later as governor of New Jersey. As a professor, he taught in various colleges before being appointed as the president of the university. As a politician, he was best remembered for his progressive thinking.
