When you say intelligence, are you talking about IQ, EQ or SQ?

I see wisdom as the ability to apply intelligence, so neither are beneficial without the other.

Both wisdom and intelligence tell me you are aiming to high. You might want to have somewhat more realistic goals.

I think they say knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. You could maybe say its the difference between understanding theory and practise.

Neither intelligence or wisdom will stop or alter any of the above unfortunately unless we all live and think the same way.

"I see wisdom as the ability to apply intelligence, so neither are beneficial without the other."

I tend to agree with that.

Intelligence is about knowing facts, wisdom is about predicting outcomes and consequences of actions based on intelligence.

Isn't that because of lack of wisdom? Know what must be done, but cannot execute the action?

I think that’s the point that was trying to be made. It sounds like you agree. Just because someone is intelligent it doesn’t mean they are wise.

What is prediction without studying something (Knowing what you have learnt - Theory or practical) isn't that just a wild guess?

I think wisdom is the application of intelligence.

For example, someone may be very intelligent at maths and good with numbers. But even though they could work out the odds they still choose to gamble their money away. They may be intelligent but not wise.

I agree that wisdom is not the same as prediction. But wisdom is about having good judgement which is also not the same as being judgemental.

For example, it’s wise (good judgement) to meet people from fab in a public place. That isn’t judgemental.

Intelligence is certainly the most important of the two, but a bit of wisdom makes all the difference.

I think that’s the point that was trying to be made. It sounds like you agree. Just because someone is intelligent it doesn’t mean they are wise.

I agree both are benefical to each other but you dont always have both running in parallel.

I think wisdom is the application of intelligence.

For example, someone may be very intelligent at maths and good with numbers. But even though they could work out the odds they still choose to gamble their money away. They may be intelligent but not wise.

I know where you are coming from. However we may need to agree to disagree that wisdom is not same as prediction.

I agree that wisdom is not the same as prediction. But wisdom is about having good judgement which is also not the same as being judgemental.

For example, it’s wise (good judgement) to meet people from fab in a public place. That isn’t judgemental.

That makes sense when you put that way.

Agreed. He always makes a lot of sense "

I think I love you!

I think intelligence and wisdom go hand in hand with each other. The hierarchy are meant to see the bigger picture and perhaps be the wisest among us, but as a species to continue to develop positively we need equal parts wisdom and intelligence on all levels of society.

It's a bit early in the morning and I'm not the most intelligent anyway so I could likely be talking bullshit, but I'm wise enough to know this

They’re definitely linked so pretty impossible to separate completely.. but I take wisdom to be more life experience and compassion, emotion based learning, whereas intelligence can be cold and only dealing in fact rather than situation.

Ah see we have different definitions then. I see intelligence as encompassing IQ, academic aspects, emotional intelligence (warmth; empathy) and social intelligence (ability to interact with others); with these skills all being acquired over a lifetime. And I see wisdom as more the day to day conscious decision to apply those skills, or not.

I’m taking intelligence in this context to be ‘academic’ so without the emotional part.. it’s impossible to separate them really and I value both in a person. I think I’m answering this in the context of a very recent situation where intelligence lacking wisdom has had catastrophic consequence...

Both is ideal really. If you have both, that's pretty formidable. Intelligence on it's own is great but how useful are great raw materials if undeveloped v tried and tested well seasoned formulas? I would also argue the intelligent person would have the intelligence to figure out the value of wisdom and seek it out from that which is written and from them that have it.

You can learn from your own experiences or from other people's or organization's experiences. A classic example is Korean airlines.They were crashing their planes left, right and center till NASA studied the cultural bias and patriarchal hierarchy in korean culture and came up with CRM, which all airlines in the world use it. So my point is, Intelligence can derive from Wisdom or vise versa.

It does but not always.. as another example my dad didn’t finish school and joined the family business aged 15.. my next door neighbour is super academic.. knighted for his services.. I know who I’d rather go to for advice... they definitely see things very differently.. again another extreme example..

For me, wisdom means being able to see the patterns of the past & not repeat them, typically events that leads up to larger detrimental events in larger society, they all start with an idea & a person. Mostly hindsight.

Intelligence comes in many forms, academic - to know facts.

Emotional - to control your own & be able to empathise with others

Can't remember the other one.

Mostly in the moment.

To be both wise & intelligent would be the nirvana as you can see the means & effects that you can have. Butterfly effect.

I like a nimble, clever mind. Intelligence and wisdom I take as a given if you've made it to be a responsible adult... ...is that so hard to accept....?

Think these attributes are difficult to define, I know highly academic people who lack common sense, does this make them intelligent? And then we all have that friend who gives the best advice but never takes their own, are they wise?

That's all I know is that I've got much to learn, and that I feel wiser as I'm getting older. Think the most important feature is to learn from your experiences and from those around you, to help you make better informed decisions.

As someone who has been blessed in both areas .....an intelligent person can have all in the information/ knowledge at their disposal but still fuck up by making an unwise decision. A wise person can make a decision knowing full well they havent all the information or knowledge but can then seek it. Wisedom is a far less tangible / softer quality and

sadly doesn't seem as valued these days.

Intelligence.

Critical analysis is (imo)the the main metric of intelligence where as wisdom is mainly just drawing for past experience. In a nutshell.

It is almost as if everyone used their intelligence to think of an answer, and then apply their wisdom to come to the conclusion that it is not an answer that is correct with either, but with both.

For me it’s like saying, either food or the ability to digest it. Which is most important, pick one? It’s sort of a redundant dichotomy. Food is useless without the ability to digest; digestion is useless without food.

Yep, party pooper right here

No, because it would be incorrect. Otherwise I'm using neither to answer the question. In turn proving that the correct answer is still both, making the question utterly pointless.

Found this which sums it up "Intelligence is normally construed to be the amount of information gathered in the human brain. Wisdom on the other hand is the intelligence that we gain in the process of learning from the mistakes that we commit."

Wisdom .. Wisdom requires some level of intelligence to apply so they come together.

Intelligence can simply mean high IQ or a good memory .. but that doesn't mean you can apply any wisdom to life.

Intelligence is knowing the answer, wisdom is choosing not to answer because you know it will likely lead to needing to answer more questions.

Intelligence is much talked about but what it is, remains debates. If we include emotional intelligence, for someone who has empathy, then it's certainly highly valuable. There are people with acquired knowledge who may do atrocious or immensely valuable things. Intelligence, in its Broadest sense, with the right motivations and values, is probably my pick.
