Not about IQ but I read somewhere about how the properties of octopus bodies (squishiness, bonelessness) form a very different understanding of the world compared to those of primates. Can't find where it was.

This isn't at all what you're looking for, but the book Vampyroteuthis Infernalis (Flusser, V. & Bec, L., 2012) might be a fun read for you.

Vilem Flusser writing about vampire squids? Sounds like a great read! Thanks a lot!
