Interesting. I would've expected Conscientiousness to correlate weakly positively with IQ across most IQ levels.

I would avoid interpreting a negative correlation between C/self-discipline and IQ as evidence against C/self-discipline being a separate facet of intelligence; I think that would beg the question by implicitly assuming that IQ's representing the entirety of what we call intelligence.
