This is like the question "what came first the chicken or the egg"... yes preferably you need to have both.

Experience comes with they years of doing the same  or being in a similar job. The question is, does that make a person intelligent? I do not think so! 

So the requestion remains what does one make intelligent? School ... books ... ?

For me it is most important that a person knows how to solve a problem, implements it  and exicutes it successfully ... you do not have to be experienced or intelligent to do this .Some of us have natural tallents and others do not and some need the combination of intelligent and experience.

Possessing the ability to do take the right action at the right time to assure success is the key.

Both are important

But if you have to choose one  of them choose intelligence .

Intelligent person will get the experince much faster than others .

So after some time you will have an inteligent person with experience

Intelligence gives power to adapt to new situations, i.e. to properly assess, decide and act in order to solve a new and previously not encoutered problem.

Experience brings the knowledge on typical solutions to choose in frequently occuring similar problems.

So, if you want to decide which is more important, you have to know what kind of problems are typically to be solved on the specific job.

Therefore, in research, for example, intelligence is far more important, while in routine tasks, experience brings usually effectiveness and risk avoidance. Obviously, there are no absolute requirements for one or another. They should normally be used both.

"Experience", obviously. 

Because looking at one's experience and the way he/she handles things, you can judge his/her Intelligence. 

Intelligence is Subjective. Unless really put to use at the right time, right place, it yields nothing fruitful !
