Clever.

They're trying to make a joke, but that's the word for someone who is capable in unknown situations.

[–] drphungky@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

That's a clever answer!

...or maybe a smart answer. Depends if you've seen the question before.

I think in elementary school they refer to that as “bright.”

“Oh little Billy is one of the brightest students.”

Fast forward, little Billy graduated college, moved to Philly, works as a barista, knows the complete lore of 40k but doesn’t use their degree in any meaningful way.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? High WIS but low INT?

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Intelligence represents how clever you are and what you know, basically how quick your mind is at improvising solutions.

Wisdom is your awareness of your surroundings as well as how much of that you retain and can access on demand without further stimulation.

Int 18 Wis 8 would be like a professor of advances sciences or engineering (doesn't matter what field) who can give indepth breakdowns of things in their field work and expected outcomes of things related to that field. But that same professor can never remember where they put their glasses, lab notes, the homework or remember anyone's name without serious attempts to grill it into their long term memory.

I can't believe nobody's said this yet:

Intelligence is knowing that tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

I dont think so. Intelligence is aptitude, capability, or skill. Wisdom is knowledge and experience, etc. So op is right, i believe

Intelligence: "I'm smart. I don't have to study for the quiz."

Wisdom: "I should've studied for the quiz!"

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Intelligence is knowledgeable and processing speed. Wisdom is awareness and memory.

You remember the store had 4 apples on the shelf, but you know 2 + 2 is 4.

The closest concept is severly deficient autobiographical memory (SDAM), a lifelong inability to vividly recollect or re-experience personal past events from a first-person perspective.
