If the probability of two different events occurring is 1/20 and 1/20 respectively, but they are correlated at r = 0.2, then what is the probability of them both occurring?

I'm trying to figure out what the probability is of a randomly selected individual being in the top five percent for IQ and the top five percent for Intellect (interest in ideas), assuming that they are normally distributed traits that are weakly correlated at r = 0.2.

However, I’m quantitatively challenged, hence I have no idea what I’m doing.

I don’t even know if the question I posed makes any sense mathematically.

>IQ of 150 – Cattell III B

>high in trait openness

>subsequently intellectually creative

>Borderline personality disorder

>subsequently pathologically high in the traits of ‘urgency’ and ‘sensation seeking’ (pathological neuroticism and extraversion)

>can’t do anything that I don’t want to do or anything that causes significant stress

>also enjoy a plethora of associated conditions, i.e. obsessive-compulsivity, anxiety, panic symptoms, recurrent depression, psychological splitting and dissociation (including olfactory and auditory hallucinations)

>absolute failure of a human being

I should probably be euthanized.
