Famously, Göring scored 138 and another prominent Nazi, Arthur Seyß-Inquart, 141 on their IQ tests when incarcerated in Nuremberg. Both were sentenced to death later. That said, their case shows the principle that high-IQ psychopathic people tend not to end up among common criminals. They find other, legal or "legal" (as in "it was legal in Nazi Germany") ways to satisfy their urges.
