Is There a difference between Inteligence and Wisdom?

I think yes

Wisdom is advising people when they dont know what to do. Intelligence is knowing things. Wisdom is helping people, intelligence is helping yourself 🤨 sometimes i dont know if i make sense.

Yes.

Intelligence is the ability to act appropriately given current knowledge.

Wisdom is understanding when action is required and advisable regardless of knowledge.

Intelligence equals knowledge...Wisdom is being smart.

it seems like Intelligence is technical knowledge, and Wisdom is your level of common sense

Making the best use of available knowledge has been regarded as a definition of wisdom by some.

Yes there is.

I'm better than either of them.

Intelligence and wisdom are not synonymous, e.g. animals display intelligence, but do not display wisdom.

I agree

hmmm, if I had 5 wisdom teeth does that make me wise? 🙂

X 5....

🙂 yea but I had two taken out...maybe thats my problem..hehe.

X5 - 2 = +3

I guess you're average. 😖mart: 😗

Wisdom is where you have good judgement, intelligence is where you have good skills.

Intelligence concerns reason, the use of logic, ability to make abstractions and the objective understanding of concepts and ideas. Intelligence is objective thinking.

Wisdom is subjective, it is related to intuition, it is an ability to know something at the level of experience, or sensation. Not just being able to give an operational description of something(that is related to intelligence), but wisdom is knowing how it feels like.

Being knowledgable means you know a lot of facts, when to spit them out to support a position, for example.

Being intelligent means, for example, going beyond the facts, making logical connections to arrive at new conclusions, perhaps being able to anticipate specific outcomes.

Wisdom is going beyond the logical connections and specific outcomes. It is intelligence garnered from sheer length of life experience, noting meta-connections, using panoramic logic and intuition to recognize patterns too immense for linear, laser-focus logic to notice by itself.

Put simply:Intelligence is knowledge
Wisdom is common sense

Basically, if I can read these people's minds instead of reading their posts, they're trying to say that Wisdom is about everyday life, giving advice, and knowing how to improve. Intelligence is having a quick mind that can be applied in everyday life.
