If you are familiar with the Enneagram, I am rooted in the 5 - the observer or the investigator. The “typical” 5 is like a vacuum about knowledge and information. “I read a book” is a typical refrain from a lot of 5s, me included. So there’s a lot of knowledge and information that we pull in. But wisdom is an entirely different critter. Proverbs is a beautiful book in the Bible and so much of it is rooted in the personification and affirmation of wisdom, not simply knowledge and information. Wisdom isn’t independent of knowledge but it is not rooted in it. Wisdom is rooted in experience, in openness, in listening, in humility.
