"Those who score lower on measure of intelligence."
We know how well those work, don't we?
I know that unless I trust someone (say, my team) I won't get anything done, and that's enough of a reason to find people to trust.
But the implication of this study that this is directly the result of my intelligence, is actually insulting to my intelligence.
Are people who fall for scams highly intelligent? I'm not saying they're necessarily stupid, but people who fall for scams definitely "trust others" a bit too much.
