Career

Boutwell has conducted research on the intelligence quotient of psychopaths, finding that their average IQ is lower than the general population. This research has been published in a peer-reviewed journal.[1][2] He has been an associate professor at the University of Mississippi since the summer of 2019.[3]

Boutwell was one of the first two contributors to Quillette.[4]
