Wisdom vs Intelligence. There's also something to be said about being knowledgeable in your field and thinking you're knowledgeable in all fields

Also IQ is not intelligence. I'm seeing more and more posts from people who talk about IQ like it's their real-life INT stat. Is this just an American thing? Do people use the terms interchangeably or are you guys all doing IQ tests regularly and ranking yourselves by how good you are at puzzles?

To be fair I never mentioned IQ. I was just trying to make a joke. You can take it up with the original greenposter.

Oh yeah I agree with you. I'm building on your point and questioning OOP's use of IQ!

Ah my bad! You can tell I didn't earn my Mensa bumper sticker ;)
