Remember that the attribute scale has a granularity of 1, and that IQ 1 is as smart as a fish (even sharks, which are smart fish, get IQ 2). Lots of insects and things with brains necessarily have IQ 0 to fit onto the scale.
So, even IQ 0 creatures can have to worry about fear and influence. If you don't want that, you have to add traits that remove those concerns.

So a Giant Ant with its IQ 2 (Classic: Bestiary) is far smarter than its real life counterpart. Makes sense as fantasy giant (whatever) tended to be smarter than their normal sized counterparts.
