Ingenuity is the ability to problem solve given insufficient data. For instance, making a cake without the proper ingredients yet producing a tasty dessert. This is an ability, not necessarily an inborn talent. Ingenuity can be improved by practice and is commonly exhibited by inventors and mothers. Wisdom is knowledge that is gained by study. Application of knowledge to a problem which is like another problem is the product of wisdom. Wisdom in fields of study does not translate into other fields, i.e. a mathemetician cannot automatically cook. However certain principles of one discipline will apply to another, i.e. a chemist can apply the same principles to cooking.
