My posting was close enough for folk, but slightly inaccurate.

Sununu's high score was on the Ron Hoeflin's Mega test. I was 
confused because Omni also printed Langdon's LAIT in a different 
issue. Sununu's score of 44 put him at an IQ of 180 (or 5 SD, 1 in 
about 3.5 million).

Curiously, his son, also an engineer and now US Senator from NH, 
ranks as the most libertarian Congress critter, even past Ron Paul, 
according to the Republican Liberty Caucus.
