I found this interesting
Cuz my mom said something???. I didn’t totally agree with it but. She said that usually being good at math early on is a sign of intelligence throughout life. I looked it up and this is what I found
Yes and no to the original question because
Yes because Math is very important in IQ tests. So if you’re looking at IQ then yes you must be good at math.
But I wonder if there are people who are great at math but not very smart overall. Idk my mom might have just been saying it cuz she’s odd in some ways. And I was good at math as a kid. So she’s like “yeah I guess he is smart after all” type of thing.

I’m good at basic or advanced arithmetic. But not advanced math like calculus and stuff.
On standardized tests math was always my best section.
I was always ALMOST good enough. I was never good enough in school.
In 4th grade I got 120/121 on the math section of the CMTs and in 5th grade I was the first kid left OUT of this advanced math thing in our grade. Of 5 kids I was #6. And then as time went on coming just short of expectation was worse and worse as expectation got lower and lower.
Story of my life.

As long people think they are imperfect about themselves,they’ll find the need to progress in it.I like idea about that.

Don’t underestimate the g factor. If you are very intelligent, and you don’t have a maths-related learning disorder, then you are most likely also good at maths, and conversely, if you’re not good at maths, you are unlikely to be highly intelligent. But yes, you can be intelligent without being good at maths.

You can achieve insights with intelligence. Deep insight is my spirit and talks to me. Its connected to the big spirit. Healthy body mind and spirit. Math is important to realize our matter experience. The universe is basically mathematics. Whatever, it doesn’t matter. Life and afterlife is always win win. There is always a loving force taking care of you because it can’t comprehend the suffering. 
Well judge Judy always claimed she was smart and was never good at math

It’s not true. Compared to the general population I’m a bit above average at Maths (though I’m terrible at geometry) . I’m not really good at Maths though .

It’s true that the g factor is valid for most, but not all, people when it comes to intelligence . VIQ -PIQ <10 gap applies to most people.
Which is why I used the words likely and unlikely. Most people do not have spiky profiles, and spiky profiles are a sign of specific learning disorders.
I was agreeing with you. There’s no problem . I am not always the enemy.

@Jonnybegood also relevant here is that mathematical and logical reasoning abilities are among the strongest predictors of general intelligenge. I.e. more indicative of actual intellectual ability than many other measures of IQ.
