Suppose you're captured by a bunch of psychopaths who're going to scan your brain to determine your IQ and kill you if your IQ exceeds 120. In this case, it would be preferable to have a low IQ.

There was a short scifi story about that. If the kid scores too high they hauled it off.

As for low IQ situations, one of my cousins worked in an injection molding plant for nearly forty years, just filling the reservoirs. Two months before he was due to retire they fired him. I don't think he noticed.
