Would you rather be more beautiful or more intelligent?

I'm not asking what you look for in other people. And I am not asking which would be better for impressing others. Just what would make you feel good about yourself. You can have a little extra beauty or a little extra intelligence. Which do you choose?

I'm no Einstein but I think I'm smart enough. A little more beauty would do me more good :)

I could take more of both but I am more comfortable with my intelligence level than I am with my looks. I'd have to say more beauty for me.

I'm already way too smart for my own good, so more beauty, please ;-)!

I am pretty happy with my level of intelligence. So I would choose beauty.

More intelligence! I really want to be a well known scientist someday and with some extra brain power I could accomplish SO much. I have also found that beauty isn't really valued in the scientific world. Brains over beauty anyday!

Beauty fades. My intelligence I will have forever god willing I dont get into a major accident or have a signifcant head injury. I think I'm pretty darn hot when I have less weight on my frame but I look pretty good right now. So how about a magic wand to take off this weight?

I think I'd take the more intelligence, although I could use both I suppose from other peoples perspective. I think I'm cute and I am smart, but who couldn't always be smarter really? I'll take the more intelligence route and hope it opened more doors for me.

Good for you. You sound pretty young and idealistic though. What field do you want to get into?

I would choose intelligence, definitely. I struggled all the way through junior high and high school, barely graduating. As a result of my experiences, I think it put a negative slant on my life choices where furthering my education was concerned. I can't be sure that more intelligence would have helped but surely it couldn't have hurt ; )
