Surprisingly low for Hess and Speer. How do we even know they were trying properly, in those circumstances?
Nazi leader were IQ tested following their capture after WW2. As far as I know, this is the only IQ testing of a broad section of leaders of a country. Are there any others I haven't heard of? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_trials …pic.twitter.com/w1WAgkiKoB

As expected, Schacht is highest.

None of them are surprising, except for Streicher’s. Lots of low cunning, but he didn’t really signal a high IQ...at least from what I read.
-
Well, he's average. Just slightly above.

No shortage of brain power, it must be conceded. Not my kind of egghead though.

Not actual testing, just reconstructions. as far as I know. e.g. Simonton, D. K. (2006). Presidential IQ, Openness, Intellectual Brilliance, and leadership: Estimates and correlations for 42 US chief executives. Political Psychology, 27, 511-639.

(My impression is Simonton is the guy for historical reconstructions. http://www.intelltheory.com/simonton.shtml .. haven't read it, but see also? Simonton, D. K. (2009). The "other IQ": Historiometric assessments of intelligence and related constructs. Review of General Psychology, 13, 315- 326.)

Goring tying for second at 138 always blows my mind and makes me think this must be fake.
