—“Curt, do you see a difference in competitiveness between people of similar IQ quotients? Do you think people are more likely to cooperate at higher IQs or vice versa?”—
As far as I know competitiveness is a dominance trait, and I have not seen variations in dominance by intelligence, only in *technique used* by intelligence. In other words, smarter people have a broader range of competitive tools to work with and so you see a broader variety of expressions of dominance.
People at higher IQ’s have more opportunities for fruitful cooperation because peers are more likely to possess a valuable position, resources, and idea, even if they have fewer people that they can cooperate with.
