I studied communications and media science at the university. My own words in a way, but it's taught in a similar fashion. There is a lot behind it anyway. I could probably teach a class in high school about knowledge alone. :P

Intelligence, and sometimes Intelligence Quotient (abbreviated I.Q.), is defined as someone's ability to learn in new situations. Antonym for stupidity. Intelligent people learn quickly, stupid people learn slowly. Knowledge is somewhat an unrelated measurement. A person can be noted to be intelligent even while lacking significantly in knowledge, so long as he learns and comprehends new concepts quickly and learns how to respond correctly in newer situations and environments quickly.
Knowledge is MUCH easier to define. It's like raw data stored in your head. Also a notable correlation between the two, someone with great knowledge doesn't even need to be intelligent. Intelligence is only needed in situations in which a person learns, whereas a person with proper knowledge of what the correct action would be in a certain situation can boast that learning in that situation is unnecessary; he knew what to do before the situation arose because he already had the knowledge, the raw data.
Experience occurs when a situation is repeated more than once to the same person. If the person has intelligence, experience will cause the intelligent person to gain knowledge, even if the person did not study the situation academically beforehand.
In comes a new measurement: Skill. Skill is a measurement of the rate of success and the degree of success at performing the correct action in a specific situation. Having knowledge and experience greatly increases the chance of increasing skill. Skill is nearly unattainable without experience, but not as a law, as there can be exceptions. As skill increases, intelligence is slowly taken out of the equation. A master who has increased his skill to an extreme degree is no longer using intelligence at all. Rather than actually learning anymore, he merely increases in skill. Eventually the skill may become so high that even cognitive thought becomes sparse when performing the correct action, because the correct action, executed with great efficiency, has developed into a robot-like reflex. As a certain situation arises, a master will perform the correct action skillfully, and little thought and no learning will be necessary. Regular training is recommended, or even a master can slowly lose this reflexive ability. Go too long without performing these reflexive actions and a familiar term will be used, "rusty".
Go out, Soul Calibur players. Use your intelligence to gain knowledge and experience, and in turn, increase your skill until you become a master. As a warning, some say becoming a master at any craft takes an average of ten years. It will be a long journey, my friends. Don't go too long without practicing, or you may get rusty.
Now let's play some Soul Calibur.
