No, Intelligence has nothing to do with education, education can help delevop a high IQ and make it even higher, but it is not neccessary. But just because someone is not properly educated does not mean they are not intelligent. Intelligence is potential, education is what you make of it ;)
If that is true, then IQ and education are definitely connected, aren't they? That would make your statement that "they have nothing to do with each other" wrong.

What I ment to say (which you deliberatly missed) is that education is not neccessary for a high IQ, meaning a unedcuated person can be the smartest person in the world, but I also said that education can help intelligence develop even further.

Education is a bonus, not a neccessety for a high IQ

125? I've done a few tests, the last real one was 3 years back in primary school, but they didnt tell us the scores, it was for their internal records. I've done an online test a year ago, and it was pretty high so I dont know how reliable it is/was.

It was 149 :undecide:
I got 156, and they gave me a full scholarship at my coaching college :D

And if intelligence has nothing to do with education then how come the average figure of 3rd world countries is always so much lower than that of 1st world countries and then how come that there are so many mathematical questions in an intelligence test. Mathematical questions that cannot be answered without a proper education.
Where did you get this statistic? I don't think the mathematical questions are all that complex, they're more like patterns e.g.

what's the next number?

1,5,2,6,3,7

and they have a lot of shape questions, etc.

Actually, it's just that IQ tests are biased towards the literate. If you can't read or write, you get 0 in any IQ test you answer. It doesn't mean you're stupid.
