A go-playing President of the United States would probably be a better
president. That’s according to David Z. Hambrick, a professor in the 2015.
06.16_go-presidentDepartment of Psychology at Michigan State University who
wrote recently in Scientific American that “my colleague Brooke Macnamara
and I found that fluid intelligence—the general ability to reason and think
logically—was a strong positive predictor of skill in the board game GO,
as measured by a laboratory task that was specially designed to measure a GO
player’s ability to evaluate game situations and select optimal moves. In
turn, performance in this task was strongly related to a player’s
tournament GO rating.” Hambrick adds that while IQ isn’t the only
predictor of presidential success, “what science tells us is that a high
level of intellectual ability translates into a measureable advantage in the
Oval Office.”
