To investigate correlation of identity styles and commitment with wisdom – related knowledge، 131 students in engineering، Art and social sciences were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through Identity Style Inventory and wisdom-related performance interview. For data analysis Pearson correlation coefficient، T test and ANOVA were used. Findings indicated That there were negative correlation between diffuse/avoidant style and wisdom and positive correlation between wisdom and commitment were seen as well. There were significant difference among engineering and social sciences students in normative style and significant difference were considered between engineering and art students in commitment. There were no significant difference between male and female students in identity styles، commitment and wisdom-related knowledge. It seems due to the maladaptive function of diffuse / avoidant style in copying with conflicts and problems، negative correlation with wisdom is probable.
