A little searching and I don't see any evidence that IQ is related to narcissism. That seems intuitive to me - narcissism is unrelated to the real world, they don't have to be actually better than anybody to believe they are.

The claim is that membership in high IQ societies, not high IQ itself, correlates with narcissism.

narcissism is currently an 'in' word. It's fashionable to name your exes and others as narcissists, and justifies why your actions/feelings against others.
