    I've been told that for my age, I am very wise. I would never boast about intellect. I don't consider myself wise or not wise. I feel it in general takes a wise man to realize how much he does not know.

    I guess I'm going to be different and say 'yeah.' (If going by the OP's definitions.)

    But it occurs to me that as soon as someone claims to be wise, it only proves how foolish they are.

    So, here I am: Fool.

    Wiser than yesterday. Hopefully not as wise as tomorrow.

    I'm wise about some things and foolish in others. I was often the voice of wisdom in my high school friend group, especially in relationships.

    Not really. I feel stupid because I'm almost always wrong. I have no difficulty admitting it though, and I appreciate it if someone corrects me.
    But I am great at deduction, I think.

    I have always sought the council of others when needed and asked for help if I didn't know the answer. I've made mistakes and learned from them.

    Wisdom is the application of experience.

    Far be it from a grand master sage, but I like to think I'm wise (not necessarily humble).

    This feels like a trick question. I feel wiser in some areas of my life than the average people my age, but in others, absolutely not. Wisdom seems relative to me.

    I Ditto what Kasey said "Wisdom is the application of experience". I learn by my mistakes and this turns into my learnt wisdom.
