Classification and division

Knowledge can be broken down into three simple parts: intellect, personal experience, and wisdom. These three parts define aspects of the word knowledge that the main definition does not include. A person's intellect describes their ability to gain and decipher that knowledge. So this could incorporate a person reading comprehension skills to fit the above definition. Intellect might also define ones ability to expand the knowledge even further than what was presented to them. A persons intellect can not be their only judgment of knowledge. Personal experience also lends much insight in to a one's thought process. The more experiences a person has on a certain subject, is a direct effect on the outcome of a solution they might come up with. Personal experience may play a role in a person's intellect, by shaping the way they observe information given to them. A person's wisdom incorporates the first two aspects, but uses this knowledge for completely different purposes. Wisdom is knowledge one has built up through many different experiences about a similar subject. This is the form of knowledge that has been based on intellectual thoughts from personal experiences. Wisdom is often knowledge pasted on to people that are experiencing some sort of personal dilemma. There are probably more, but these define the word as a whole without leaving out too much.
