    Intelligence is closer to what a talent is.

    I know a child that is very talented in music. But, he doesn't practice much. That's where wisdom comes in.

    An IQ test is a talent for taking IQ tests, or any tasks that is similar to iQ tests, engineering, math, solving problems, thinking in the abstract. But that talent might not translate into public speaking, which is another talent. It might not comport to being a real estate promoter, which is what Trump was. I don't think Trump has that high of an IQ, but he's a talented self promoter, and knows how to manipulate a certain type of person. He's clever, but not that wise. he would have been a lot better off and more well liked insofar as the kind of people he really wants to be liked by (the upscale NY crowd, who now loathe him) if he had just stayed out of politics, and appeared on talk shows and been that charming guy he once was. That guy has vanished, and what remains is ugly, I mean really ugly. The irony is, the people who love him, he and melania personally want nothing to do with. And, for all of his troubles, what has he gained? More fame, which he craved, but not much else.

    yes, and that is why I didn't refer to any dictionary, because, I thought I would just look at the two items, and give my take on them.

    Given that CRITERIA the "graduation" rate for humanity must be one of the LOWEST in the entire universe. ;)

    I think it's more like if you toss out a jar of seeds into a forest, only a few will take root and flower.

    but, with humanity, it's much less than that, so, true.

    Human intelligence can be manipulated by the much more intelligent angelic beings. That's how Adam ane Eve were fooled by the crafty snake.
    Human wisdom is a way of penetrating the effort of the angelic beings to reach the truth.
