Beauty or Intelligence?
Wednesday, October 10, 2001 by Draginol | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
If you had 10 points to distribute between beauty and intelligence (not wisdom), how would you distribute it?
I'm probably more along the lines of 7 intelligence, 3 beauty. Well, to be perfectly honest, I think that I got ripped off and only got 8 points and well, let's just say 7 got put onto intelligence..
But I think I would split mine 6 to 4. Each year I find that intelligence isn't all it's cracked up to be. Wisdom doesn't necessarily take high intelligence, just efficient use of experience.
I dunno. What do you guys think?

Welcome to my world. I scare small children with my face yet have trouble with concepts like letters and numbers.
Well, it's my favorite time of day, time to go scratch myself. Mmm. scratching.

I think I got lucky. I'm probably about a 6 for beauty (I'm no Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise, but not far off from, say, Keifer Sutherland), and about an 8 in brains. Of course, the beauty's dropping as my metabolism slows down...
I'd probably swap them if I could, though. There's no doubt that beautiful people usually have better lives and an easier time of things. Of course, that could be the "grass is greener on the other side" syndrome.
Really, though, if I could pick something to put my points in, it'd be Creativity. I had a 7 or 8 a long time ago, but it's dwindled now down to a rough 2 or 3. Is it okay to make up categories like that?
So, on that scale, it would be:
Beauty 4
Brains 2
Creativity 4
On your scale:
Beauty 7
Brains 3

I think I have 10 full points, but they're not all filled up yet.
I'd say I have 2 points in the beauty catagory, and 8 points in the intelligence catagory that aren't filled up.
I have potential.. I really have my genious moments at times...
Mostly though, I just wander around trying to figure out what I should be doing.
I think I'll go wander around aimlessly in a very small room now. (and they think I'm joking)

I think if you have 5 on each side that is good "balance" is the key but who really has balance?
as for me I never look at myself, I scrape by w/ what God gave me I guess =/

Draginol,
There is not Wisdom without intelligence, experience never gives Wisdom, it takes more than this.
The duration of beauty is small, both sides, for those who watch the beauty and for those who have the beauty.
The intelligence lives long.

Yeah, I'm not one to waste time worrying about my looks.. well, past being presentable and all. I am who I am, and other people just have to deal.
But I'm really not joking about long periods of "duh" .. ask Juni. I definately have a "Duh" problem.

I'm a walking skeleton with a big nose, long dirty hair and a two week beard. Add to that my sparkling personality and we've got a winner. Luckily I can compensate all that with being gifted. Oh, did I mention I am modest too?
beauty: 4
intelligence: 6

I think intelligence is overrated. I firmly believe in the statement "Ignorance is bliss". Of course, I don't live by that statement, I just believe in it.
But it sucks to be half way through a movie (if I'm lucky) and suddenly realize that you have the whole damed thing figured out. Makes the next hour a waste of time. Same ith books.
Plus, when you're really smart, you can be good at almost *anything* you decide to do. Which means your choices are nealry infinite. Which means you never get really good at *any* one thing; you just get decently proficient at everything...Blah.

Notice I said "almost" anything... Obviously, typing isn't one of those things I ever got decently proficient with...

Most of the VP's and other sundry execs that I work with (and that make far, FAR more money than I ever will), have distributed their 10 points very heavily in favor of the beauty, and have very small brains.
I used to be of the opinion that intelligence is better, but now I am not so sure .

this is tricky
9 points in feline inteligence, very lateral mind, thinks about everything from different sides
6 points in human inteligence, since i am not good at remembering isolated facts for exams
spare points, spare points, all right, who has got my spare points!!!

Amen! That's why I said my intelligence points weren't filled up yet. I'm kinda good at a wide variety of things, none related to the other.
You mean that makes me smart?
