[QUOTE="N0Man, post: 5103057, member: 64066"] As far as how I view them in game... I think of Intelligence as relating to academic studies, understanding theories and principals, critical and analytical thought. Kind of a scientific and introspective type of mind suitable for understanding the mysteries of the arcana. Those with this attribute have an easier time understanding abstract ideas and the world of ideas or pursits of academics. Scientists and historians. Strange and unusual ideas are accepted more readily by this type, even embraced. I see Wisdom as mind suited for practical ideas and skills. Those with this attribute are more extrospective (more aware of the physical world), have higher situational awareness, excel at skills that are hands on, practical, and easy to apply. They are also likely have more of a mind for tradition and accepted ideas. They are more likely to trust their senses, which are likely keen, more than than their intuition. This view fits with the way skills are associated with these abilities as well, for the most part. Personally, when using Insight to judge if someone is lying works with wisdom if it's based on signs and other cues that are presented, and when Insight is based off perceptions. However, when it's used as a more of a gut-feeling and intuitive skill, I'd like to lean towards Intelligence. I readily admit that the Myers-Brigg Personality Assessment had some influence in the way I break up Int and Wis, but there are some interesting correlations between comparing Int vs Wis and Introspection vs Extrospection, in regards to the types of skills, classes and archetypes are associated with Int and Wis characters.
