There are a limited number of studies on the effect of IQ on therapy outcomes, especially in the post 2000s literature. I did find one study from 2014 that looked at therapy outcomes for low IQ (71-110) and high IQ (111-137) groups. The researchers ran loads of analyses trying to find something significant in their study, but couldn’t find much. The only finding worth mentioning is that individuals with higher IQ seemed to benefit more from long-term psychotherapy (Cognitive kind) in the long run, but the differences are modest at best.

The best predictor for positive outcomes in therapy is the therapeutic alliance, i.e., the quality of the relationship shared by the therapist and the client.

A recent study from 2019 found that IQ differences do not predict relationship satisfaction for men or women. 10.1016/j.intell.2019.01.004 Again, this is not a direct test of the original claim, but it does suggest that relationship satisfaction is determined by factors other than the intelligence of the people involved.

We don’t make friends based on their IQs. We don’t decide if we will get along with someone or trust them based on their IQ. The idea is a good defence against going to therapy, though. It makes us feel better about ourselves while also suggesting that the only reason therapy doesn’t work is that the therapists are just too dumb.

La creencia de que nuestro terapeuta tiene que ser más inteligente que nosotros para que la terapia sea efectiva puede ser funcional a una resistencia a ir a terapia.
