Intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. A definition similar to that of wisdom. However, there is still a considerable difference between intelligence and wisdom. Intelligence has an aspect of “learning”. Where an individual expresses some form of superiority to others. Whether in their capacity for understanding, creativity, logic, or self-awareness. Even problem solving, among other qualities. When people refer to someone as being intelligent, they imply that he or she is special in terms of brain function and general conduct.
