No surprise to Hjalmar Schacht topping the IQ chart; he had a big hand in introducing the Rentenmark and arresting hyperinflation in the early 20s. Ten years later he innovated again with mefo bills to finance New Deal style economic expansion and re-armament. But I am surprised to see Speer scoring so low on the IQ. After all he did offer the cleverest defence at the trials, thereby cheating the noose despite his documented presence for the Posen speeches.
