Martin Van Buren – 146
As President of the United States during Martin “The Little Magician” Van Buren’s one-term presidency, he faced the Panic of 1837, which is frequently referred to as the first great depression because it began just three months after Van Buren was brought into the office. For the United States Treasury to become independent, Van Buren proposed that finances be kept separate from the government so that they would not be affected by political ups and downs. He had an IQ of 146, which put him well in the middle of the presidents in terms of intelligence. Unfortunately, he was held accountable for the closure of a huge number of firms and banks during a period when the economy was deteriorating, despite the fact that, after his time, people understood that he was also responsible for repairing the economy.
