I beg to differ that he painted well. He had a very poor grasp of perspective making his paintings look uncanny.

I don’t know if you’re still doing these IQ estimates, but might I suggest Twitter anti-Zionist pundit Lucas Gage? He took the online FSIQ test a while back and got a 95, which people make fun of him for. But he took it again and got a 107, and then he took some other more verbal-centric test and I think he got a 121 (no clue how reliable this test was). I would not normally believe he has an IQ of 95, but when Ibram X Kendi is sitting at 100 I think it’s certainly a possibility

Interesting analysis, but I have one small quibble. You say "Mein Kampf is poorly written," to which I think it is worth noting that Mein Kampf was verbally dictated by Hitler to a subordinate while he was sitting in prison. A book that's basically a stream-of-consciousness ramble written down is naturally going to seem poorly written by the standards of deliberately composed and edited books. So while it may be a small factor in the overall picture, I don't think the quality of Mein Kampf can be used to judge overall writing ability.

Really? Interesting. Yes, I couldn’t tolerate much of Mein Kampf, it just seemed like a ramble. Thank you!

Göring had an ascertained IQ of 138 and he considered Hitler almost another form of life in terms of intelligence. Hitler's IQ should have thus been in the region of 140-160.

Maybe he meant in terms of some other shit
