Does having a SUPERIOR INTELLECT indicate being superior in other areas too?

How about character? Morality Integrity Honor. Truthful Fair Accepting.

Do average ordinary typical everyday folks whose IQs are averge or possibly a tiny tad above find it much easier to lie and cheat and steal and betray than their intellectual superiors?

I don't know if there is any literature on the subject or whether any studies have been done to determine moral superiority (the real kind not the self-serving pompous bully braggart self-righteous blithering idiot kind)

Maya Angelou said "when you know better you do better".

Mebbe. Well  the smarter you are the easier it SHOULD BE to know what "better" is and aspire to achieve it. I think the sb prez is a mediocre average typical ordinary standard-issue sleazy shyster con artist scammer and nothing special. How he conned so many folks astonishes me. How'd a con like that pull off such a big con as that?

    Does having a superior intellect indicate being superior in other areas too? No, it doesn't. A superior intellect does not necessarily translate into sensible actions in real life scenarios. The old adage "common sense isn't quite so common" would apply here. I know and know of people with impressive intelligence but lack basic common sense. If you have little or no common sense to direct your superior intelligence in a constructive manner, that same superior intelligence pretty much amounts to a spit in the river. :)
