I think I disagree with your definition of Wisdom. To me wisdom is the ability to meld knowledge, feeling, intelligence, and even instinct to produce something more than the sum of the parts.</p> Good Article. made me think.

I personally find them quite easy - but there's plenty of people who score lower than me, who I'd consider my intellectual equals or betters!

Wisdom is usually applied to social sorts of things, isn't it, so wisdom would be not only the intelligence of recognizing patterns and effects &c. &c., but it would be the real world application of these findings. I may be wrong; I haven't thought very long about this, but that's what I'm feeling right now.</p> <p>For myself, I'm quite smart (I'm a TMA), but never do well on IQ-like tests because it's testing out the half of my brain that got the short end of the deal. So there are definitely many different types of intelligence; many, I think, that get overlooked.</p> I'd like to say that wisdom is a level up on intelligence.
