Intelligent people realize they are immature, and strive to gain more experience and insight before they act.
That isn't the definition of intelligence that other people use, nor is it what dictionaries would call it. Intelligence is generally accepted to be the ability to take in information and to apply that information; it is not the amount of knowledge you have already acquired or even inherently the rationality with which you choose to apply it or not.
I was probably about as intelligent when I was 16 as I am now, perhaps more so, but I don't I was as wise or knowledgeable back then. Sometimes the best way to learn is to try and fail, rather than delay indefinitely as you over-theorise and either never act or act too late.
