I think IQ measures the capacity to learn, not the amount of knowledge you have learned...tests over information that you already know are achievement tests like in school. Also, scientists think everyone's IQ has a range it could be from genetics, and where you end up falling in that range is due to environment. So schooling wouldn't raise or lower IQ much that it would be otherwise but might a little.
And I have an IQ of 126 but would trade a few in a second...ignorance is bliss.
