Maybe intelligence isn't the right word? As I understood m52go's comment, it's more like smaller brains -> less variations of "mind state" (as in state machines)? Hence less "variance of intelligence". Of course, I have no idea how a brain works, and it's unlikely that it's anything like a computer.
