My completely intuitive take on the ordinary language meaning of those terms is this:

Intelligence is adeptness in problem-solving and gaining factual information. It is "technical".

Wisdom is the ability of using the gained knowledge in making good decisions and guiding oneself through life. It also involves knowledge of one's own capacities and ethical sensitivity. It is "practical".

It should indeed difficult to exercise wisdom without being intelligent, because wisdom uses the raw materials provided by intelligence, but maybe it is not impossible. Maybe Forrest Gump is a good depiction of a character who manages to be wise without being intelligent?

Intelligence is a subset of wisdom, i.e. there is no wisdom without intelligence. Unfortunately, reversed statement is not a true one.

Intelligence indicate knowledge. Wisdom is the proper use of knowledge. Not every intelligent man is a wise man but a wise man must surely first be intelligent.

You need intelligence to appreciate wisdom.

Bill,

Wisdom is a word which make most modern philosophers and scientists inconfortable. You probably know better than me on the origin of this work but my guess is that this word was invented by the first philosopher throughout the world. It was a very popular world in the west describing the highest achievement of the human character. After the down fall of the roman empire and the dominance of christianity, the highest achievement was described as being a . Then in the renaissance the highest achievement was described as . And nowadays the highest achievement is . What a downfall!

I will think about a proper answer to your excellent question

To be wise is one thing to have wisdom seems much more exceptional. It apparently embodies (without looking at the dictionary meaning) very refined quality in broad way. You can act wisely in situations, but to have wisdom seems to mean some kind of thoroughness in thinking which is total. Intelligence is perhaps the possibility to think and apply correctly for solving a problem, wisdom requires knowing a solution, still act in a different way. Looks like as if intelligence could be for self whereas wisdom is for society and humanity.

I think a good answer is given by the Latin words for intelligence and wisdom.

In Latin intelligence is said intellectus and derives from intus (inside) + legere (to read), thus intelligence is the ability to 'go in depth' by 'reading inside' the facts so to extracting their real (and often hidden) meaning.

Wisdom corresponds to the Latin 'sapientia' that has the same root of the verb 'sapio' that means 'taste', Latin was a language born among shepards (this is why egregious comes from ex-grege , i.e. a sheep distinguishing from the other shepps because it is out (ex) from the flock (grege)), if you have wisdom (sapientia) you have a personal and unique 'taste' like a specific cheese made by an expert shepard, this implies you not only have the knowledge and intelligence of facts but, much more importantly, you re-elaborate them giving them your unique touch , so a wise person is not someone that knows a lot of things, but someone that has completly assimilate experiences and is able to give them back in a unique way, makinf his unique soul to be evident.

Thus to be wise is much more than to be intelligent...

Pierre Hadot’s founding meta-philosophical claim is that since the time of Socrates, in ancient philosophy “the choice of a way of life [was] not . . . located at the end of the process of philosophical activity, like a kind of accessory or appendix. On the contrary, its stands at the beginning, in a complex interrelationship with critical reaction to other existential attitudes . . .” (WAP 3). All the schools agreed that PHILOSOPHY involves the individual’s LOVE of and SEARCH for WISDOM. All also agreed, although in different terms, that this wisdom involved “first and foremost . . . a state of perfect peace of mind,” as well as a comprehensive view of the nature of the whole and humanity’s place within it. They concurred that attaining to such Sophia, or wisdom, was the highest Good for human beings. All ancient philosophical schools agreed that, by contrast, most people live unwise lives most of the time. These lives are characterized by unnecessary forms of suffering and disorder, caused by their ignorance or unconsciousness concerning the true source of human happiness. In the view of all philosophical schools, Hadot claims that “mankind’s principal cause of suffering, disorder and unconsciousness were the passions: that is, unregulated desires and exaggerated fears. People are prevented from truly living, it was taught, because they are dominated by the passions” (PWL 83). Political society in all but the best regimes, while natural to human beings, was agreed to be a further cause of individuals’ having deeply habituated, false beliefs concerning human nature and concerning what is good for them to pursue and to avoid. Ancient philosophers thus conceived of philosophy as involving a therapy of the soul, or “remedy for human worries, anguish, and misery brought about for the Cynics, by social constraints and conventions; for the Epicureans, by the quest for false pleasures; for the Stoics, by the pursuit of pleasure and egoistic self-interest; and for the skeptics, by false opinions” (WAP 102).

I think I must've read this somewhere... in the context of encountering problem solving:

An intelligent person would solve the problem however, a wise person, would avoid such problem first and foremost, and sought others intelligent enough to solve for them... or something like that. 

For me, being wise is much more than intelligent, contrary some answers I read it. Just my humble two cents.

Intelligence is how you perform in different fields compared to others when it comes to knowledge, problem solving etc. Wisdom is expertise knowledge in one or more domains, being able to teach and create new knowledge. In that sense wisdom is a total outperformance combined with experience and creativity. And it is not so much practical knowledge (which is for oneself). It is more offering guidance and giving what you know to others.

It seems intelligence is connected with cognitive ability  to obtain a solution to a set target in a specified ambiance. Wisdom is superior born out of "experience" which gives the power of assessing ,if a solution is morally and ethically acceptable.Hence "intelligence" can be found in the "young "whereas "wisdom" requires time and usually found in the "old"

Cheers

"Hence "intelligence" can be found in the "young "whereas "wisdom" requires time and usually found in the "old""

Stereotype. Just to tell you...

Stereotype was not intended.Apologies if so construed. The observation was that ability to obtain "solutions" in many cases does not require gathering of knowledge but wisdom would require accumulation of "experiences" .

Cheers

No, you do not need to apologise. It goes really very well with what one might expect and how many people perceive it. Indeed when people were asked to name attributes necessary for wisdom this is what they said: Elder people have more wisdom. But if you ask me this is just what we normaly expect. So in order to come to a clear definition what wisdom is it is less helpful to follow common sense.

Again it is unfortunate I used terms "old" and "young" , perhaps a more mathematical type definition would be appealing such as :

intelligence = solution |(given problem) ...... Markov type of definition

wisdom = solution | (given problem and cumulative data)  .... non Markovian..

Cheers

In my, not any scientific, opinion, intelligence may be compared to a system while wisdom to the substance. The world has as many nuclear armaments at the time as to annihilate it several times is the result of intelligence. But they are not being used in that way is the wisdom.
