Would you rather be smart but awkward or average but socially adept?

Considering the website we’re on, most people will prefer the former. But remember this: charisma can get you just as far as intelligence. Television and radio personalities, actors, performers, and the like have just as much chance at a meaningful, affluent life as scientists, doctors, and technology/business moguls. Truth be told, you need good social skills to be successful, regardless of your intellectual prowess.

If I had to choose, I’d choose the latter. I’m glad I have the best of both worlds :).
