I prefer to think of it as wisdom is what you know intrinsically, education is what you have learned, intelligence is your capacity for learning

- philipswood 5y agoNice summary, but I dislike the fact that education has made the default understanding of these categories to be about retaining information/knowledge rather that your ability to compute/reason/intuit. Yes, familiarity with a field should improve skill, but I like to think that one can be smart, intelligent or wise in a situation that does not involve previous information about it. Someone exposed to a brand new game or puzzle can be smart, intelligent or wise in solving it separately (to some degree) from having prior information.
