  Intelligence is knowing how to shoot a gun, wisdom is knowing when.

    That sounds nice and all, but is useless as a definition. The way I see it used, wisdom is knowledge and intuition that is gained from experience, whereas intelligence is a property of a person that allows them to learn quickly.

      Spidey sense is a made up term for situational awareness. It’s not wisdom.
