Interesting data. I wonder what IQ test they used and mechanistically how testosterone would affect that (assuming that's a causal relationship in that direction)?

Maybe the lower IQ students were more likely to go into physical labour jobs that boosted testosterone

Or high levels of heavy metal intake (zinc) boosted testosterone and dropped IQ

high iq is correlated with autism, autism is correlated with being trans, QED

i'm only like 89% joking

I assume higher testosterone level means you have less patience for bullshit quiz questions that probably have little to do with assessing intelligence.
