and I often can’t

[hyuri]

I get that people consider me intelligent; really, I do. the reason I disagree is that my estimation of intelligence isn’t based on the possession of knowledge, but on the abilty to usefully apply that knowledge.

True enough...
have knowledge just makes you knowledgeable.
applying it makes you intelligent.
Being able to transfer the application of that knowledge makes you wise.
