Big 5 neuroticism and IQ

From what I've read so far, neuroticism seems to be negatively correlated with IQ, but there are conflicting opinions regarding the extent or the causes. Is it true?

Doesn't make much sense though
Most geniuses are very mentally troubled. Maybe it's that women typically get higher neuroticism that brings it down. In men I think smart men are more neurotic.

Apparently it could just be test anxiety, but it only explains part of the correlation.
And I believe "geniuses" is the crucial part. There are very few 140+ IQ people overall, but I would guess that "midwits" in the 115-130 range do show the negative correlation with N and a slight positive one with A. The media focuses a lot on the "troubled genius" trope.
