Yup.

Intelligence and wisdom are two different things.

Take X42 for example. He is claimed to be a really smart person (oooh, a Rhodes Scholar), but his personal actions regarding all the women he sexsually harassed were not wise choices.

A wise man wouldn't fall into those types of traps. Only a foolish man would. A wise man learns from past mistakes, the foolish man repeats.

You are so right.
And I agree that a better word (than intelligence) is wisdom.
