Can you point to a paper that corrolates high iq with high testosterone?
Im wondering because SEA besides ashkenazi jews have in average an iq that atleast is one or two standard deviations higher then all other ethnicities.
And their testosterone level is way lower then any other group.
(E.g. blacks highest testosterone level lowest avg iq)
I have the impression that one of the traits corrolated to high iq is low testoterone levels.
I wrote that testosterone is correlated with higher spread (i.e. higher standard deviation) of IQ, which is not a necessarily a higher average IQ. Testosterone is associated with higher risk taking and higher variance.
I did not write higher testosterone, rather just testosterone. I was referring to distinction between genders.
As for higher comparative testosterone amongst the males of different racial groups, I wouldn't be surprised if very high testosterone is associated with lower IQ, because it would seem to me this excess physicality and violence is driven by a society in which many men are impregnating the woman at the same time, i.e. a very primitive society that is not breeding for IQ.
I was also thinking about that, how excess testosterone can be counter productive to mental work. I know that when I am healthy, one of my problems is that my testosterone is so high that I find it difficult to sit still and do mental work until I first go exhaust myself in sports. And if I skip my sports for more than a day or two, I become very aggressively moody and could easily get into a fight. I am ~52 and ill, yet my testosterone was measured to be 23 out of 25. So yeah, testosterone has its downsides.
It is interesting that perhaps by breeding for higher IQ, this may breed out too much testosterone which perhaps may lead to Frankenstein effeminate outcomes? Isn't it interesting how there is no equilibrium or homeostasis point, but a range of possibilities. Yup sounds like nature.
Watch how the black people react to these racial jokes (testosterone?):

Today a dark-skinned Indian guy (taller than me) tried to walk directly at me pretending he didn't see me and as he got closer I realized what he was doing was trying to act tough and I was watching his face for him to make eye contact but he purposefully didn't and so at the last moment I decided not to avoid running into him and he at the very last moment made an evasive maneuver and then I turned around ready to make eye contact and fight. But he just kept on going ignoring me. This is an example of what you see in those videos. Very high testosterone is sometimes difficult to control. I am sick and taking very strong medicines so I was surprised that happened. I didn't really like it, because the last thing I need is to be getting into fights. But I've noticed the arrogance of the Indian nationals here is starting to get to me. So I better make sure I avoid them.
Here in the Philippines if you act arrogant, especially not in a place guarded by security guards, you are risking someone attacking you with a machete, especially here in Mindanao. I would like to think of myself as a more civilized person, yet I noticed I had that reaction. Perhaps it is my Cherokee native blood?
I wrote this:
...is inherited from the primitive, post-paleozoic, hunter-gatherer time period when mortal danger was omnipresent. Fear stimulates a fight-or-flight adrenaline spike in response to extreme stress. Adrenaline rushes are thrilling and addictive, especially when the threat is low-grade, not thoroughly exhausting, and thus repeatable because it only exists in the imagination. Adrenaline (plus cortisol) shuts down rational thought in the pre-frontal cortex. Production of the steriod cortisol spikes to redistribute more energy to the muscles and nerves, depleting energy from the immune system, digestion, and toxic waste processing necessary to maintain health.
