Maybe in some colloquial definitions, but following the DnD conventions (which is what I assume op was talking about), Intelligence refers to knowledge, while Wisdom refers to perception, introspection, and metacognition (knowing that you know or don’t know something) . So I think high Wis (you are quick on perceiving things) but low Int (not being able to remember what you know) would apply.
It’s not a science, though. This is just my personal interpretation.
Intelligence represents how clever you are and what you know, basically how quick your mind is at improvising solutions.
Wisdom is your awareness of your surroundings as well as how much of that you retain and can access on demand without further stimulation.
Int 18 Wis 8 would be like a professor of advances sciences or engineering (doesn’t matter what field) who can give indepth breakdowns of things in their field work and expected outcomes of things related to that field. But that same professor can never remember where they put their glasses, lab notes, the homework or remember anyone’s name without serious attempts to grill it into their long term memory.
Shouldn’t it be the opposite? High WIS but low INT?
I dont think so. Intelligence is aptitude, capability, or skill. Wisdom is knowledge and experience, etc. So op is right, i believe
Intelligence: “I’m smart. I don’t have to study for the quiz.”
Wisdom: “I should’ve studied for the quiz!”
Intelligence is knowledgeable and processing speed. Wisdom is awareness and memory.
You remember the store had 4 apples on the shelf, but you know 2 + 2 is 4.

I can’t believe nobody’s said this yet:
Intelligence is knowing that tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
What would be an example of Wis 18 int 8?
