This study has been designed to explore the potential relationship of wisdom with demographic factors like age, gender, length of experience, number of organisations worked for, and the position held by the person in the organisation. Scope of the study is limited to teaching fraternity working in professional educational institutions in the national capital region of India. Ardelt's (2003) three-dimensional wisdom scale (3D-WS) was used for measuring individual wisdom. Study results indicate that age and gender have no significant relationship with wisdom. However, strong relationship was observed between wisdom and length of experience; number of organisations worked for; and the position held by the person in the organisation, indicating that wisdom is the outcome of duration, variety of professional exposure; and the role and position related responsibilities carried out by the person.
