Worried about the higher IQ?

Too much worry is not entirely bad. A recent study shows that high levels of anxiety often occur in smart people.

>>>Why do people have different intelligence?

Research results show that, among those diagnosed with anxiety disorders, the higher the IQ, the more anxiety you have.

In addition, people with this anxiety disorder often have higher IQs than healthy people, as well as high levels of activity in a brain region that is responsible for communicating with other parts of the brain, sets. An important part of the human evolution.

Much anxiety is common in people with high IQ.

While we often worry about health concerns, it is related to the level of intelligence - Dr. Jeremy Coplan, a researcher, professor of psychiatry at New York State University health center for know.

Anxiety can be disabled. The worries of patients are often absurd, bringing a sense of danger around them. Later, this anxiety may be said by a highly adaptable patient - Dr. Coplan. People who feel dangerous around have the ability to protect their lives and their loved ones.

In the study, 26 patients with anxiety disorder and 18 healthy people participated in an IQ test along with a questionnaire to assess anxiety.

Interestingly, among the 26 participating patients, the more anxious people, the higher the IQ level.

Too little anxiety can become a problem with both individuals and society, Dr. Coplan said. Some people are unable to see any danger, even when danger is near.

If these people hold leadership positions, they will swear to the people that there is nothing to worry about, Coplan added. In many cases like the recent real estate bubble, the lack of anxiety has great consequences for the whole society.

The study was published on February 1 in the advanced neuroscience journal. However, much more research is needed to confirm this information.
