Great Wisdom vs Great Intelligence: Which ONE would you choose?

Question

If you were given a gift of ONE of the two; which one would you choose and WHY? NOTE: Intelligence includes skills and Wisdom includes common sense.

A continuation of my "no nonsense" VERSUS series.

I looked up the word Intelligence: it notes: syn Intelligent. Please used this approach to answer the question.

Answer 1

Wisdom (unless you mean wise behavior) cannot properly be distinguished for practical "situational" purposes from intelligence unless you define intelligence purely as logical skill in the absence of factual knowledge. Truly intelligent, and wise decisions are always knowledge based. A mix is necessary. But the marginal benefit of additional knowledge is probably higher than additional degrees of logic, as an abstract skill. The question leaves open whether the choser, if selecting a) or b) has by default a "minor" level of the other skill available. If one posits that he does not, it creates a one-side skillset difficult to imagine.

Now apply your wisdom to the commuting problem:

Answer 2

I Would Choose To Be Given G Wisdom, It's A Well Know Fact Money Can Not Always Bring You Happiness Where As Wisdom Can And Does.

Answer 3

You confuse intelligence with intellect...Intelligence and Wisdom are One and interchangeable...I am talking about Intelligence of a Highest level, not intelligence of earthly agencies. Did you mean Great ones, I believe? Both Wisdom and Intelligence is ultimate. Intellect, on another hand, it is skills you mentioned, on a level of current abilities and abilities of a humans decided to be limited in time..Choosing Oness does not imply existence of other choices..It is only chose we have to make, if not in this life then in another.When you coming to that decision to choose Oness, any other choices becoming absolutely non-existent.That indicate that you are really chosen.

Answer 4

Wisdom! Intelligence without the ability to make good decisions is a waste. Look at how many business majors out there are totally miserable in their jobs and social life. How many "wise" people who have their stuff together do you know that aren't relatively happy?

Answer 5

Great wisdom. If you are wise, you'll either be wise enough to recognize if you have the skill or not. If you don't, you'll be wise enough to know who does. The tasks gets done either way! If you are only intelligent, then you have the skill and only you will continue to do the task. The wise one is wise enough to know that if someone else is doing a task, that gives them more time to work on something else.

Answer 6

Intelligence is book smarts, or expertise in a particular area. Wisdom is the knowing of what to do with your intelligence. So you can't have wisdom without intelligence. So I would have to have both.

Answer 7

wisdom
its all about the life experience for me...

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
—Marcel Proust

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One
helps you make a living; the other helps you
make a life.
Sandra Carey
