**5. Wisdom as multiple-dimensional**

Lets start the journey, what is wisdom? It may be suggested to be a capability that has the outcome of decision that is likely to be based on perceived, discovered, or inferred insight (Ask, 2010).

If wisdom cannot be limited to the intellectual or cognitive domain but encompasses the whole person, it might be more important to find out what a person is like rather than what a person knows to measure wisdom. In terms of 'expert in wisdom' this might involve integration of cognitive, reflective, and affective characteristics (Table 1) (Ardelt, 2004).
