The author of the article, popularising education for wisdom as a basis for comprehensive development of pupils, looks for methods supporting the development of wisdom from childhood. Stimulation of wisdom in early education can be a challenge to teachers due to a lack of theoretical and practical guide- lines. Thus, the author developed and used in studies specific diagnostic tools for analysing the capabilities and skills of older preschool children in using wisdom in their thinking. The article describes the study results concerning the application of divergent tasks stimulating thinking in children in different ranges of intelligence (based on R.J. Sternberg’s concept) and conclusions from the studies conducted based on a randomly selected sample (N = 366), e.g., that used tasks make it possible to differentiate the competences and intellectual capabilities of the children in question.
