There's apparently a pretty strong correlation with doing really well on "intelligence" tests and having a diagnosable mental illness. I've heard that really smart people are also more susceptible to certain kinds of delusions because being real good at pattern matching doesn't mean the patterns you're noticing are significant, or even really there. But the thinking goes that "smart" people are better at coming up with arguments to support their false beliefs and finding things they think are evidence of their false beliefs, so delusion in "smart" people might be harder to counter than delusion in less "smart" people
(unitary intelligence isn't real kill the IQ test in your head)
Not off the top if my head, it's just something I remember reading in passing. Maybe try google scholar and see if there's anything bout correlations between mental illness and intelligence test scoring.
You know, I had another thought;
With great intelligence comes great insanity.
