Wisdom, sapience, or sagacity is the ability to contemplate and act productively using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight.[1] Wisdom is associated with attributes such as unbiased judgment, compassion, experiential self-knowledge, self-transcendence, and non-attachment,[2] and virtues such as ethics and benevolence.[3][4]
Wisdom has been defined in many different ways,[2][5][3] and there are several distinct approaches to assessing the characteristics attributed to wisdom.[6][7]
