Clever, shrewd, cunning, astute, wise
These words split intelligence by what it is for. Clever is quick. Bright is quick and young. Brilliant is exceptional. Shrewd and astute are good judgement in practical and commercial matters. Cunning is intelligence used to deceive. Wise is judgement about life, earned over time. Only cunning is an insult, and only wise requires experience.
