Incompetent authority may come looking for fights. Any competent authority figure is going to hire the smartest people possible.
I have a high IQ and have never had regular "fights" with competent authority figures (management, government officials / LE, etc). I'm also very libertarian and don't like working for others but when I do I don't have problems.
I also have good social skills so that probably plays a part too.
If you are sufficiently smart and capable of putting your knowledge of psychology to practice, you can usually work with the authorities to get what you want. If you get into trouble, your smartness or ability to act smart based on your knowledge isn't sufficiently broad enough. 'IQ' alone isn't enough information.
