Intelligence has nothing at all to do with Knowledge.

[Black_Bird]

In fact, it can be said that knowledge is the absense of intelligence.

Intelligence is the interaction of ideas, not concrete definitions; intelligence is art, where knowledge is rote.

Anyone can be intelligent; simply persue that which you do not understand and seek to understand it, exchange ideas, and open yourself to radical thinking.

The difference between Intelligence and Knowledge is like the difference between Taoism and Confusiousism.

Damn with an offer like that I think I need to start getting into the more serious threads.

 

[MechaBlade]

Let's not get into the typical cliche here. Yes, intelligence is more of a capacity to understand than it is to know. But a good memory allows for fact memorization, allowing one to function better. If I remembered more, I'd do better on tests, remember people's names... a lot of beneficial "smart" results.

If you have no memory, you may repeat stupid mistakes. Knowledge has some importance.

 

[Coolville]

Knowledge is the gathering of information and experience.
Intelligence is knowing what the fuck to do with all of it.

 

[Sillyman]

Knowledge does not equal Intelligence, but Knowledge is not the antithesis of intelligence. I view intelligence as the ability to readily understand ideas and how they fit together, and good intelligence allows for the more rapid accrual of Knowledge. The two fit together as a whole. Without Intelligence, there is no driver, and the car just sits there. Without Knowledge, there is no car, and while you can walk, you can only go so far.

Then of course there is the entirely seperate category of Wisdom, that many times Intelligent and Knowledable people completely lack.

 

[takingchances42]

The rubber chicken has it right.

Intelligence and knowledge complement each other, with a great deal of synergy between them.

 

[scylis]

Intelligence is a key ability for wizards and rogues, as it allows for a better selection of spells and more skill points, respectivly.

Knowledge is a skill (with many different areas) that can help to do anything from identify a magical device or potion to knowing the correct procedures and customs that keep you from getting killed or thrown in jail in places you are familiar with.

Wisdom is the key ability for clerics and druids. it allows them to cast more spells per day.

 

[VanB]

Isn't intelligence the capacity to seek out, absorb and apply knowledge?

Just a thought

Wisdom is also a key ability for monks, who derive many bonuses from a high Wisdom score. Of course, Wisdom is also handy to paladins and rangers for their bonus spells as well.

i don't think monks have an ability that's not key (making point-buy systems a pain sometimes), therefore i didn't mention them. as for paladins, i would argue that charisma is better for them (nifty bonuses to saves), though wisdom is nice. rangers are better served with high dexterity, as they tend to wear lighter armor and bows just look good on them. in both cases, 14 is really all you need to put into wisdom to be able to cast all their spells.

Wisdom and Dexterity are normally the key abilities for Monks. The others are nice, but not strictly needed.

As for paladins and rangers, high wisdom makes a good bonus, but you are right, Charisma serves a Paladin better. Wisdom does help improve a ranger's tracking skills somewhat however (Spot and Listen checks and so on.).

Would this be an intelligent question, or are you seeking knowledge?

I never ask intelligent questions...so I must be seeking knowledge. I just know nothing about fucking.

Knowledge is all the pieces of a car laid out on the garage floor.

Intelligence is the Corvette parked in the garage.

I wish

I had something to say on a thread about intelligence and knowledge.

Well at least I learned how to spell them.

that is so true, you can have all the book knowledge, in the world and still not know anything really for example about life

Again, that goes back to the Wisdom category really.

Is everyone here agreeing with this statement buying into the concept that anyone with knowledge has NO intelligence?

Some people need to work on "Critical thinking " skills, I think!

Re: Re: Intelligence has nothing at all to do with Knowledge.

What I am saying is, Knowledge is static and the less static shit you have in your brain the more intelligence you are going to have.

Knowledge: Color is spelled "Color," not "Colour."
Intelligence: Oh wow; Europeans spell it with a "u". Kind of cool...

The above example is a pretty simplistic example, but it is still a pretty good one. Also, intelligence includes *some* static elements, but knowledge, on the other hand, does not have to include dynamic elements. Using the above example, with intelligence, we accept the common spelling of "Color" and are still able to understand the European version of the word, where as knowledge only allows us to see it as an error.

How's that for critical thinking?

 

[Black_Bird]

I'll take your word for all of that.

Uh... sure, I think.

I love teasing you, BB.

You post these mindboggling threads and I just have to jump in and simplify things for you.
