No. A person can read a book to gain knowledge, and a person is born with the capacity for intellect. Wisdom, however, is combining knowledge and intellect with experience and common sense to triumph in a given situation or come up with a solution for a particular problem.
That is why you rarely encounter "wise" young people. They simply do not have the volume of life experience to refer back to.
Just because you have a PHD it doesn't mean you're wise or deserve respect....and it doesn't mean you're not capable of doing anything harmful or crazy

Knowledge plus intellect equals wisdom. So given how you worded the question, yes it is.
No.
Knowledge can come from reading a book; intellect is inborn; and wisdom comes from experience.
Wisdom is intellectually compiling the correct decision with the given knowledge.
Nope.
Intelligence - The ability to gain knowledge.
Knowledge - Book smarts.
Wisdom - Morality.
