Intelligence, by itself, is a curse. People who use intelligence in order to prove that they are right, smarter, or for the sake of knowing more about the subject do not deserve intelligence. Everyday it is abused by the ignorant and naive. Eventually when a person thinks him/herself intelligent they're facts become opinions and their opinions become stubborn, selfish, and indirect hatred.

Now intelligence becomes a gift when one learns wisdom. That is what matures a man/woman. Without wisdom, intelligence means absolutely nothing. In which I'll quote Socrates.

Basically, a sword without the man who owns it makes it useless.

P.S. - And to answer the question of the OP, intelligence is both.
