There is some research along these lines. I suppose, higher IQ may offer some degree of protection against hallucinations / delusions in the sense that they can be better reasoned out?
I read a study which shows that musical training is protective against hallucinations in otherwise predisposed individuals.
There can be a grey matter loss associated with schizophrenia. Perhaps higher IQ results in less grey matter loss / or more initial reserves.
