I have read the sentence In this sentence , I would like to know
the usage of 知力 . In dictionary , it means "intelligence " Can I
use 知恵 or 知能 instead of 知力. Is there any difference in usage
between them. |show 1 more comment| [Standard Japanese learner
disclaimer.] To me, 知力 is more related to 知能 than it is to 知恵. I
think the 力 in 知力 implies mental ability, which is somewhat
synonymous with the meaning of 能. For 知恵, I can't do a
comparison by kanji, but the definition seems more closely
related to wisdom and knowledge (acquired intelligence), than it
does to the abilities that come with talent (natural
intelligence). For example which is more applicable to an IQ
test vs. a subject specific test like the LSAT?
