People who engage in impulsive violence tend to have lower IQ scores
A recent comprehensive review of existing scientific research suggests that individuals who engage in impulsive acts of violence tend to score lower on intelligence tests compared to non-violent individuals. The findings provide evidence that lower intellectual abilities may make it harder for people to resolve conflicts peacefully, though intelligence is just one piece of a complex behavioral puzzle. The research was published in the journal Intelligence.
For those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

It checks out since every negative human trait correlates with every other negative human trait.
I think people with high IQ (which measures your ability to think logically, not your emotional or interpersonal skills) just think consequences through better so they would be more inclined to employ conflict avoidance I think, rather than resolution per se, just to avoid going to jail for example. Conflict resolution probably correlates highly to emotional regulation and interpersonal skill.
This might also be why lead exposure in childhood leads to lower intelligence and to violence through that. They should next compare violence to different types of intelligence as there are lots of peaceful people who don’t do well on the standard tests.
So what group people got the lowest iqs
Alternatively: *Some wins are better than none: unpredictable violence provides smaller but more reliable benefits in asymmetric intellectual encounters.*
