Its not the same as wisdom, thats for sure. If some guy was very intelligent in the field of anatomy, and knew all of the body's weakest points, he could easily injure or kill everyone he saw, but that wouldn't be wise... Not the best example, but think of it on a larger scale; Scientists have the ability to genetically engineer humans, but is it wise to do so? The consequences would most likely be bad. Meaning they are wise in not using that intelligence.

Anyway, this is a pretty stupid question. The question should be what is knowledge.

The word "intelligence" is used in a lot of different ways, and because of flaws in language, a true meaning is impossible to deduce.

Intelligence could be anything. Intelligence could be being concious and aware, for example, "humans are intelligent, whereas animals are not." Or it could be natural intelligence. Like if you're one of the guys who needs to work hard to acheive results, or if you are just naturally intelligent.

Its too ambiguous to actually come up with an answer.
