Hi Anonymous,

The translation in Chinese can be understood by any Japanese. However, the hanji/kanji used in Japanese are slightly different:

Intelligence: 知性
Wisdom: 知恵 (deep knowledge); 賢明 (wisdom of an individual)
Knowledge: 知識 (there was an error for the second character you posted, so I couldn't read it)

Dale, choose whichever you want.
