Abstract There is a negative association between intelligence and psychopathology. We analyzed data on psychopathology to assess this in seven-year-old Dutch twin pairs (ranging from 616 14,150 depending the phenotype) estimated degree which genetic environmental factors common explain association. Secondly, we examined whether effects are moderated by intelligence. found that intelligence, as assessed psychometric IQ tests, correlated negatively with childhood psychopathology, DSM-oriented scales of Child Behavior Check List (CBCL). The correlations ranged − .09 .15 were mainly explained factors.
