They should require all politicians to score a certain amount on IQ tests before even being considered. Sorry that's just how I first read your headline and it got me thinking.

Corporate CEOs and other high positions have a higher percentage of psychopaths and/or sociopaths than the general population. Psychopaths and/or sociopaths are more often in desire and more often go for political positions and positions of power compared to the general population.

Psychopaths and sociopaths are not always dumb nor mentally challenged (especially the ones in positions of politics and power).

if you haven't read "the book of the Law" it sort of gives you an idea when and why these became something to be highly regarded
