Question

How do you personally define the difference between intelligence and wisdom?

Answer 1

i feel as though intelligence has to do more with facts and logic, and wisdom is something that is gained over time.

i think of wisdom as having more to do with life lessons and such, while intelligence is sort of a textbook term.

Answer 2

intelligence may refer to the ability of acquiring wisdom

Answer 3

intelligence is solving problems, reading books, re search and homework... basically all text book learnt, in other words "smartness"

Wisdom is something you acquire over the years, by listening, learning from mistakes, living through life...

Answer 4

I think intelligence deals with raw facts and wisdom takes feelings into consideration.  Maybe intelligence comes from the head and wisdom comes from the heart...

Answer 5

studying Greek Phil?

If not, look into Aristotle and decide for yourself.

Maybe intelligence is capacity to learn, while wisdom is knowledge plus its proper use.

Answer 6

Intelligence is the theory of questions that bugs us in physical realm.

Wisdom is the theory of quesions that bugs us in our physical, emotional & spiritual realm.

Have you ever looked at the bright skies & wondered what could have or who could have made those stars..?

Answer 7

I don't think intelligence and wisdom are directly related.  I think intelligence is not only something you are born with, I think it can be acquired with diligent educational practices.  Wisdom however, I don't think you are born with it, but can be obtained through experience and age.  I think there are people with a lot of wisdom who are not that intelligent, and never spent a day in college.
