Is intelligence a curse or a blessing, and while we are asking that question, how do we truly measure intelligence? In this week’s episode, we discuss studies that surveyed IQ scores against conditions including mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, food allergies, and asthma. Find out more about how psychological and physiological overexcitabilities fit into this story as well as whether intelligence is a predictor of success (spoiler alert: grit is involved).
TLDR: High IQ scores were linked to self-reported several psychological and physiological conditions including mood disorders and autoimmune diseases (P.s. Remember, correlation is not causation)
