You've got a character sheet with lots of bins, good/neutral/bad - "protesting abortion clinics" or "being an asshole" or "donating to charity" or "playing an instrument." Intelligence means you get more points to spend, but doesn't determine where you spend them.

I know this isn't exactly how it works but I like this frame; it treats smart people as simply higher variance; they are just more effective at believing wrong or right things, or doing harmful or kind things. Having more points *can* make you better, but doesn't necessarily.

Also interested in studies that seem to correlate IQ with moral behavior. I think it *is* correlated with some prosocial stuff right?

I don't literally think you can choose which bins to pour IQ into, I agree that it seems very not-fluid.
