Come on, guys - there is a massive difference between base natural intelligence and having an education.

If I can just get in between all the smug back patting going on, having a good education (and therefore a qualification like a degree or something) just means that somebody has told you something, and that you remembered it for long enough to pass a test on it. That takes some intelligence, but it certainly does not mean that much? Not only do we simply accept what we are told (especially in things like physics and biology, which are changing all the time) we get given points for regurgitating unoriginal thinking that may well have been disproven by exam time.

This sort of thing also makes one less open to new lines of thought, as we are conditioned to believe what we have learned.

Natural intelligence is the ability to create original thought, mount logical challenge and reach new conclusions all on your very lonesome.

I have met some uneducated people who are much more intelligent that some people I have met with doctorates.

I mean, the singer from Doctor and the Medics proves this
