Do aggressive / mean people have a low IQ?

I noticed in my years on this planet that mean/ aggressive people lack the ability to rationalize how they affect others! The lower the IQ the worse!Intelligent people obviously have more self control and they are aware of themselves and how they effect others. So if your apparently mean for no reason then your stupid .馃樁

they have a low EQ; emotional quotient. they can just be daft in that way, or have out and out antisocial personality disorder.

EQ might be a more relevant measure. But I get the sense that most aggressive people understand that they're hurting other people and do it for other reasons, such as stress, misdirected anger, and low self esteem.

Anything can be rationalized, including harmful behaviors.

We don't all lack the understanding of how it affects others. Understanding doesn't always mean empathy, you can be too blinded by your own pain, you can have a mental illness characterized by poor emotional regulation well beyond you..

Other than that, when you hate someone, the prefrontal cortex is activated and other regions responsible for reasoning. They are deactivated when you are loving. That's because hatred; aggression all trigger a survival response ,or are a result of survival response.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout but they are more tactful and conniving. They don't resort to name calling. They have master plans 馃

There are a lot of evil geniuses in this world.

And a lot of stupid nice people.

I'd put it in both extremes. Low or too high. Those are the people having a hard time socializing. People adore Steve jobs now but he was an asshole to his collaborators. Very short temper.

Not necessarily. It's just that the stupid have to relay solely on those qualities.

@Miram Good! Too busy with things going on to be worried about much.
