Maybe we have to differentiate between wisdom, intelligence and knowledge.
Very simply, we could say that wisdom is the science of the Soul, gathered over countless incarnations and experiences.
Knowledge is the science of the mind, based on the accumulation of information and understanding.
Intelligence may be considered as the ability to apply both wisdom and knowledge.
In the esoteric tradition, intelligence also has a specific meaning. So the physical body has its own intelligence, thus it can automatically function, breathe, digest, heal itself, etc, without us having to consciously make these things happen. A tree has its own intelligence, enabling it to grow and put down roots and put out leaves, flowers, fruit etc.
For those familiar with the idea of the seven Rays, wisdom is related to the 2nd ray, intelligence is related to the 3rd ray, and knowledge is related to the 5th ray. Careful study of the seven Rays and their applications can be very rewarding.
Peace.
