that is a good question because I have a relatively high IQ and have always wondered if it was the reason for my high anxiety. My guess today is neither probably we both just suffer anxiety at during special times and need to control it better. I think over the years i have learned to not assume my IQ had much at all to do with my emotion maybe it doesn't do much of anything to your emotional state other than to give you th ability to control your emotoinal response.
