I think this would be an awful idea. Gosh, the whole thing is meritocratic enough. Probably best just to guess.
Trump went to Wheaton, I believe, so he definitely has an above average IQ.
Same with Bush, based on his SAT scores, we know that he has an IQ in the 90th percentile.
Most world leaders have to be above average in terms of intellectual abilities, but if it got into some pissing match about a few IQ points, the whole thing would get even more ridiculous.

I agree with the limitations you express on IQ and LSAT testing, but shouldn't this be one factor that voters should look at?
They are applying for the most important job in the world. To enter many professions you have to demonstrate many different aptitudes.
You should not be disqualified for having below average "intelligence", but it could be one factor of many that we can weigh.
