The sample consisted of 47 wisdom nominees and 123 control participants. This study compares four well-established measures of wisdom-the Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale ( Webster, 2003, 2007), the Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale ( Ardelt, 2003), the Adult Self-Transcendence Inventory ( Levenson et al., 2005), and the Berlin Wisdom Paradigm ( Baltes and Smith, 1990 Baltes and Staudinger, 2000)-with respect to content, reliability, factorial structure, and construct validity (relationships to wisdom nomination, interview-based wisdom ratings, and correlates of wisdom). Which measure a researcher chooses for a particular research project may have a strong influence on the results. However, wisdom is a highly complex construct, and its various operationalizations are based on quite different definitions. Wisdom is a field of growing interest both inside and outside academic psychology, and researchers are increasingly interested in using measures of wisdom in their work.
