Only one there, and probably wrong: anorexia.
Aside from myopia, any other known negatively valued correlates of IQ? (Know about Outsiders, but causality is questionable.)

Not convincing, and inconsistent with BMI data.

I'm at a party, lots of data on that q. Nonlinear, ofc, but clear relationship. IQ has similar relationship to BMI.

Possibly alcohol consumption (Belasen & Hafen, 2013).
-
Higher drug use in general, but lower problem use.
-
But it's hard to find an unambiguously negative life outcome consistently associated with higher IQ. (1/2)

I tried when I wrote this article, and it was HARD. See pp. 6-7.http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0016986215605360 …

As I said, myopia is the only convincing one I know. (I don't have glasses.) But I may have missed some.
-
I agree. Myopia-IQ link first noticed in Terman (1926) & replicated many times since. It's almost surely a pleiotropic genetic effect.

My friend jokes: feminism is positively related to IQ... :P

anorexia. was in big phenotype meta-meta, also seems to be genetically correlated http://sci-hub.cc/10.1038/ng.3869 https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/862422020545331201 …pic.twitter.com/R30tTDfEt8

Good find, but barely certain there. Generally, mental issues are negatively related to g. Another exception, apparently, is bipolar.
-
It's true I'd check replications of genetic r for anorexia. Bipolar is inconsistent. AFAIK two big scandinavian studies say more risk/not

Perhaps suicide , at a national but not individual scale, which is puzzling. I'm skeptical: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/nintil.com/2016/11/30/suicide-fast-and-slow-book-review-every-cradle-is-a-grave-sarah-perry/amp/ …

Only looking at individual, causal data, or at least pleiotropy.
-
As in some of the Askhenazic examples that Scott Alexander gave in his latest posts?

There's also the question of whether the positive associations are causal. Like Age at first intercourse not causally linked.
-
Agreed. Matter not so obvious as some think. More BG studies needed -- for all associations.
