I wouldn’t expect this issue to kick in significantly until you were roughly twice as intelligent as the average detective in law enforcement: you would need a significant effective power differential, such that you could pretty reliably commit crimes and actually get away with them (or come up with dastardly tactics that haven’t been criminalized because no one else though of them). If that statistic is accurate, then 1 SD is ~15 IQ points which isn’t going to cut it. If we had accurate crime records for a decent sample size of people with IQ 200–250 (at least 7 SD) then we could have a discussion — otherwise I’m extrapolating from effects of other much larger power differentials produced mostly by causes other then raw IQ, like handing people executive power.
