Most pages on this site exist to correct an inflated number. Bradley’s is the rarer case: nobody has bothered to invent one at all. What is left, searched instead of a score, is a genuinely unusual multi-domain record — Rhodes Scholar, Olympic gold medallist, two-time NBA champion, three-term senator.
This is an achievement record spread across three unrelated fields — academics, professional sport, national politics — which is unusual on its own terms. It is still not a test score, and the range reflects the strength of the record rather than a measurement of it.
Set the claim aside for a moment. If someone genuinely scored in this range, here is what that would represent.
Average is 100 by construction, and about two-thirds of people fall between 85 and 115. Take the test to place your own score on this scale.
| Score range | Classification | Share of people | What it indicates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 85 – 114 | Average | ~68% | The range most people fall into. |
| 115 – 129 | Above average | ~13.6% | Roughly one person in seven. |
| 130 – 144 | Gifted | ~2% | The threshold most high-IQ societies use. |
| Above 144 | Highly gifted | ~0.1% | Figures above this range are extrapolated from the curve rather than measured. |
Percentages are approximate and describe a normal distribution. The same number means different things on tests with different standard deviations.
Thirty questions gives you a measured position on this exact scale — your score, your percentile and the ability breakdown behind it.
Find out in 30 minutes →Bill Bradley was born in 1943 in Crystal City, Missouri. A straight-A student, he turned down more than seventy-five college scholarship offers to attend Princeton, where he was a three-time All-American, led the team to the 1965 Final Four, and graduated with honours in American history.
He won an Olympic gold medal with the U.S. basketball team at the 1964 Tokyo Games, then delayed a professional career for two years to take up a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford, studying politics, philosophy and economics. He played ten seasons for the New York Knicks, winning NBA championships in 1970 and 1973.
He served as a U.S. Senator for New Jersey from 1979 to 1997 and sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2000. He remains one of a small number of people to have combined an Olympic medal, a major-league championship and national elected office.
The estimate above rests on this record. Every entry here is a matter of public fact, which is more than can be said for the number itself.
Following a claim back to its first appearance is the part almost nobody does — and it is what most people are actually asking.
Every other page in this section exists because a number attached itself to a real person and needed checking. Bradley’s case is different: we searched specifically for a circulating IQ figure and found none — not a hoax number, not a listicle guess, nothing. For a three-term U.S. Senator and Olympic gold medallist, that absence is itself notable, and worth stating rather than manufacturing a figure to fill the space every other page has.
His profile sits closest to Ryan Fitzpatrick among the athletes here — both built a documented academic record (Fitzpatrick’s at Harvard, Bradley’s at Princeton and Oxford) alongside a professional sports career, rather than relying on either alone.
How we read a number →Confirm the 1965 Princeton graduation and the 1979–1997 Senate term for New Jersey.
Contemporaneous profile of Bradley during his senior year at Princeton.
Institutional biographical summary accompanying the photograph used on this page, confirming the Knicks, Senate and Olympic record.
Searched directly; no hoax number, aggregator estimate or listicle figure exists for Bradley, unlike almost every other entry on this site.
No figure of any kind circulates for him — not even an unsourced guess, which makes him unusual on this site. His documented record spans Princeton, a Rhodes Scholarship, two NBA titles and eighteen years in the Senate.
It isn’t clear why some public figures attract invented numbers and others don’t. In Bradley’s case, we searched directly and found nothing — no hoax, no listicle estimate, no aggregator guess.
Yes. He delayed the start of his NBA career by two years to study politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship after graduating from Princeton in 1965.
Two, both with the New York Knicks, in 1970 and 1973, across a ten-season career.
Yes, seeking the Democratic nomination in 2000 after eighteen years representing New Jersey in the U.S. Senate. He did not win the nomination.
Closest to Ryan Fitzpatrick — both paired a documented elite academic record with a professional sports career, rather than resting on either alone.
You can find out in about fifteen minutes. The IQ Metrics assessment is 30 questions, scored on the same 100-mean scale used throughout this page, so your result and the estimate above are at least expressed in the same units — one measured, one inferred. Once you have a number, the leaderboard shows where it would sit, and how we score and norm it explains the benchmarking.
From the documented record rather than a test — the method is named above and set out in full under how we read a number. Compare it against the other athletes profiles, starting with Magnus Carlsen.
