What do you think gets you farther in life: Wisdom or intelligence?

Answer 1

Definately Wisdom because it includes God's understanding of all things. Not only did He create your mind, but He is the One who also gives intelligence and understanding as well. If you allow Him to lead, you will not be led by your own selfish ambition, thus hurting others along the way. Eventually there is an end to the road of 'man's education and intelligence, however there is no limit to God's Wisdom which He freely gives to all who would ask. No long hours of homework either!

Answer 2

Intelligence is the ability to figure out complex problems

1 a (1): the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : reason; also : the skilled use of reason (2): the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests)

Wisdom come from making mistakes and recognizing when a different choice is needed to avoid the same mistake.

1 a: accumulated philosophic or scientific learning : knowledge b: ability to discern inner qualities and relationships : insight c: good sense : judgment d: generally accepted belief 2: a wise attitude, belief, or course of action3: the teachings of the ancient wise men

Answer 3

Great question. I think both have downsides.
You can be very intelligent and come up with terrific ideas, but not know how to implement them.
You can have a lot of wisdom, albeit gained from making many mistakes. The wisdom won't necessarily prevent you from making new mistakes that hinder your progress.

Answer 4

Wisdom and intelligence go hand in hand, wisdom being the greater. Intelligence can be a double edged sword - you may be bright, but it doesn't mean you are clever.

Answer 5

Being smart enough to learn to drive a car was awesome. I learned to smoke the tires and to do my own maintenance. I got smart enough to enter a trade that allowed me to add on many extras, making it faster and meaner looking. It was through wisdom that I slowed that thing down.
Intelligence leads to earnings potential, and this is quite attractive to many of the fairer gender. Wisdom has taught me that their motives are all wrong and that tying myself to them might not be the best course of action.
We can employ intelligence in learning all aspects of every religion and every argument pro and con. Wisdom allows us to properly apply the things we learn to our own lives, emphasizing the good while being mindful of the bad.

Answer 6

There no wisdom without intelligence.

Answer 7

Wisdom is far more valuable than intelligence in my opinion.

Problem is wisdom cannot be taught, it must be earned, hence its value.
