Wisdom vs Intelligence: What Is the Difference?

redman(岡仁波齊)

Intelligence is the ability to learn and acquire knowledge, such as facts and figures, and then apply this information accordingly.

Wisdom comes from experiencing life. We learn through our experiences and we use this knowledge to make decisions.

So, can an intelligent person have no wisdom?

My extremely learned friend who did not know how to shell eggs could be classed as high intelligence – low wisdom. He could solve the most difficult maths equation but struggled with everyday tasks.

But why was my intelligent friend so lacking in basic life skills? Perhaps it was because he had been sheltered by his parents from an early age. They recognised his genius and encouraged his academic learning.

He was special. He was propelled towards higher education. That was his entire focus, to hone his genius. He simply didn’t have the opportunity to experience the everyday tasks we take for granted.

We should also ask, can an unintelligent person be wise?

Now, there are also very wise people who had no formal education. Take, for example, Abraham Lincoln. This US president was pretty much self-taught but went on to make the Gettysburg Address and ended slavery. Lincoln might be classed as high wisdom – low intelligence.

So is it important to be wise or intelligent?
