Intelligence is worldly. It can be taught. Wisdom comes from the spirit. You have to knock(take action) for the door of wisdom to be opened...
...Intelligence is learning that smoking is bad. Wisdom is putting down the cigarette.
If anyone is seeking wisdom and is unsure of where to start: pray and ask God for it, and read the book of Proverbs as many times as you can stand it.... and highlight it up!

Actually Intelligence cannot be taught. Intelligence is the ability to process facts, feelings, ect. See OP definition.
Wisdom can and is gained.
How often do you hear of a Wise 1st grader? But now and then a 1st grader comes along like unto my own son, who after my persisting, was tested to see if he qualified for the school's enrichment program where they pull the more nerdy kids out of class a few times a week and encourage under-fed brains...like taking that Ferrari you've been commuting in rush hour's stop & go traffic with all week out for a little midnight spin and opening the throttle up more than it has seen all week. Turns out part of why he has had behavior issues in class is the boy is bored. They tested his IQ, that is Intelligence quotient - measuring his ability to think, not measuring what he KNOWS. The angelic little imp scored in at an IQ in the top 1% of the aggregate numbers of all people who take IQ tests. God blessed the little child with intelligence.
Now lets see if he can have the wisdom to not have another problem at the daycare again this week... <sigh>I'm so not gonna try to explain that.

I have gained physical scars while doing things that I had complete knowledge in, but the knowledge was neither academic, nor book gained. (changing an alternator on a 2002 Taurus for example)
I have gained scars that do not physically exist while applying knowledge and while gaining knowledge.
In both cases I gained wisdom.
I do have a tendency to speak in metaphor, but sometimes it is also quite literal.

<re-reads original post, from Before I "fixed" it.>
somehow in my head I had convinced myself that it was 10 different foreign languages... I think foreign languages, while requiring an aptitude (implying intelligence) would be in fact knowledge.
10 different ways of creatively saying the same thing in a single language, particularly without the use of expletives, does show the creative ability that one would expect to be the result of intelligence. Points to ZT.
