Is intelligence, knowledge and wisdom the same thing? Or different?

If knowledge is the "knowing" of things, facts, date, information etc how do you define or measure wisdom?

What makes someone wise? And in what way are either of them related to intelligence?

If IQ tests measure one's "knowledge" what then measures wisdom?

Can you be wise without intelligence or knowledge?

Are they linear - intelligence leads to gaining knowledge, which then brings wisdom?

Is it possible for someone with little intelligence and no academic success to be knowledgeable OR wise?
 
They are not the same and yes it is possible, they might stink academically but be very knowledgeable and wise in the Field of acting and what makes an actor believable etc. or they might be hopeless with IQ but be a piano prodigy with knowledge of all chords and scales and natural talent.
