A genie appears before you and says you must choose to be very physically attractive, but slightly below average intelligence, or very intelligent, but slightly below average attractiveness? Which would you choose, and why?

    I am definitely not the most intelligent person I know, but I’d put myself at well above average.

      well, since I’m humble, I’d probably put myself at well above average + 1. Or +2.

        I scored in the 90th percentile on the ASVAB and was in advanced classes in school, which I considered pretty easy, so that’s a good indicator of where I sit. But I have friends who make me feel stupid with their intellects.

        You should put it as within 1 sigma/standard deviation. With high probability on positive deviation.
