I'd be very cautious reading anything into IQ results with no other context. An IQ test result is only a good metric of how a person compares to the rest of the population with regards to the specific types of questions and modalities in the IQ test.

An IQ result alone is pretty meaningless, especially if you haven't done te research to validate that the IQ test is a high quality predictor of twhstever you are using it as an analog for.

If you have reproducable research showing a link between the IQ test design and authoritarianism I'd be very interested to see it. I've never seen such a study, at least a study done with any scientific rigor.
