Can You Ever Be Too Smart for Your Own Good? Comparing Linear and Nonlinear Effects of Cognitive Ability on Life Outcomes

"We found no support for any downside to higher [IQ] and no evidence for a threshold beyond which greater scores cease to be beneficial. Thus, greater cognitive ability is generally advantageous—and virtually never detrimental."

The Flynn effect is "independent of general intelligence." It results from (1) environmental improvements negatively related to test g loading (and therefore heritability), and (2) an increase in the number of correct answers simply via enhanced guessing.
