Bush's SAT score was 1206 (566 Verbal, 640 Math). See the upper-left corner of his Yale transcript: http://www.iuptown.com/YaleProtest/bushs_yale_transcript.htm
This web page offers a theoretical conversion of pre-1974 SAT scores to IQ: http://members.shaw.ca/delajara/Pre1974SAT.html
Based on that conversion chart, Bush's IQ would be about 129.
Another web page, "SQ, IQ, and self-skills in recent US Presidents" mentions that Charles Murray, author of a book on IQ called "The Bell Curve," compares a that SAT score to an IQ of about 125.
"On his SAT's, President GW Bush scored 566 verbal and 640 math, for a total of 1206 (from http://members.shaw.ca/delajara/SATIQ.html ). The Bell Curve author Murray estimates a 1206 SAT equates to about 125 IQ. " http://www.sq.4mg.com/Presidents.htm
" Finally, when it comes to raw IQ, Bush is in the mid-range of American Presidents. In 1999, Charles Murray and I calculated, based on Bush's SAT score of 1206 (old-style scoring system), that his IQ was probably about 125 or a little higher..." source: Steve Sailer, vdare.com: http://www.vdare.com/sailer/karl_rove.htm
Hitler was rumored/estimated at near genius level at about 138. But that's still an estimate.
