IQ has nothing to do with education, so it's very possible for someone to have a high IQ and be poorly educated or vice versa.

You certainly never want to assume that just because someone has earned a degree they must have a high IQ.

Maybe that answers your question...

Well, IQ is supposed to be a measure of intelligence and it is used to predict your potential. Someone might have a high IQ but it is then up to them what they do with it. So if they have a high IQ but no motivation to learn anything, they can end up being really good at crossword puzzles but useless at anything practical.

Someone might have a low IQ but be really motivated to learn - they find it harder and it takes them longer to develop an understanding but they get there in the end.

And then there is the situation in universities which seem to be focused on results these days, pumping out degrees in high volume. So you have all these supposedly highly educated people wandering around without a clue because either they haven't been pushed to reach their full potential, or they have been allowed to scrape through to keep the stats up.

And then there are people like me

It would have to be something along the lines of...
'You don't have to be highly educated to be clueless.'
