I think Dungeons & Dragons character sheets were insightful in prodiving separate values for 'intelligence' vs. 'wisdom' (with the former being more valuable for wizards, and the latter for clerics).
What exactly differentiates these categories is a matter of dispute, although many examples come to mind - such as, building FTX/Alameda took a lot of cleverness, though not much wisdom. Generally, wisdom implies the possession of an internal moral compass or at least incorporation of risk assessment into one's decision-making process.
Coming up with well-regarded tests for both intelligence and wisdom in individual people, however, seems to be an unsolved problem. One issue in assigning such quantitative values to people is that, as with strength and dexterity, human beings can improve these characteristics to some extent. Some will claim that the limits of character value development are genetically determined, but the reality is that most people don't spend the time and energy training themselves up to any such limit.
genius -> brilliance -> intelligence -> cleverness -> cunning
