No, not directly. It stands for intelligence quotient. And measures how fast you learn things, can identify patterns, and generally how past your brain computes and recognizes data.
It may correlate with people who are more social mature, but collation does not imply causation.

not necessarily, you can have the highest IQ and be the least mature one out of all or vice versa you can have the lowest IQ and be very socially matured. IQ has nothing to do with social maturity IQ is just knowing the knowledge that you have accumulated throughout your years

Absolutely not... IQ is just a measure of intelligence relative to those of the same age, based on quantitative factors. Many people I know with high or above average IQ's are social nitwits.

Have you heard of multiple intelligences? It's a theory that suggests the usual markers of IQ (logic/mathematical and linguistic intelligences) aren't the only factors in our intelligence and learning. There's also kinesthetic (physical, i.e. sports/working with hands), interpersonal and intrapersonal (i.e. interacting with others and knowing ourselves). There's a couple of others, something about arts/music and something else I can't remember. Anyway, these make up a more comprehensive assessment of intelligence. You'll find the inerpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences are where your social maturity develops, and these things are characteristically not included in IQ tests.
Here's a site where you can test your multiple intelligences: http://www2.bgfl.org/bgfl2/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/questions/choose_lang.cfm

Although many people don't agree here but I do think so. A person without an education wont have much of an IQ. Social surroundings and lifestyle does have an impact on IQ in my opinion.

I don't think the two are related, my 6 yr old's teachers have been trying to move her up a grade even though she's young for her class. My biggest fear is her social skills, I don't think she is on an advanced level socially.
Other examples are people with that must have low IQ's but excel in life due to their personalities ie. social skills.

Absolutely nothing! Your IQ stays pretty much the same throughout life, your social maturity hopefully continues to grow until your death!

IQ is decided by the genetic engineering in the DNA like EQ and now SQ.

IQ is the result of genetic engineering and social maturity is the result of empirical growth. One does not have anything to do with the other.

With a high IQ, you understand the rule.With a low IQ, you just blend in with everyone else without knowing why.
