        Makes sense. People who are failing at life have below average intelligence.

        Could you please recommend a good book to read if we would like to better understand what human intelligence is, concretely?

        I wonder if they discerned psychopaths from sociopaths? The latter is oft described as less intelligent than the former.

        Problem is when you combine the two; Intelligence and psychopathy. You end up with a Ted Bundy. Or a ... President?
