Is there a difference? Are educated people generally considered to be intelligent or are they just reciting what they have read and remembered & learnt? & are the genuinely intelligent just that and will learn faster anyhow!

YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, education does not automatically make someone intelligent,i know a man who could design a micro processor board & wright programs but could not change the wheel on his car did not have a clue how to get it off,
some people are more practical

There is a huge difference between education and intelligence. Education is gained through learning, intelligence is the ability to learn fast the things that you want to learn. I have met plenty of intelligent people, but very uneducated and narrow minded!!

You can certainly have one without the other.One of my dear friends came from a poor family,and did not even finish High School,and yet she is very intelligent,well read,and also has a great deal of common sense.

I probably do - it's a common thing to do.
Partly because intelligence is vague and can mean so many things.

u r probably thinking about the difference between knowledge and wisdom. knowledge is what u know. wisdom is knowing how to appy what u know.

BECAUSE YOU GET INTELLIGENT BY GETTING EDUCATED
