My intellect isn't what it used to be, LOL, but as far as I remember, the intellect helps us to grasp the world around us, and also makes us the only living things that are capable of knowing and pondering their own existence. The will is how we react to that knowledge, taking also into consideration our own "appetites" or internal desires.

Do people often know something is wrong — but still go ahead and do it?

Intellect — knowing that it is wrong

Will — still going ahead and doing it.
