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 .😶

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.
