Question of the day...

Which is more important: intelligence or common sense?

There are no right or wrong answers. This is merely food for thought.

Discuss!

hmmm this is a hard one....i'm gonna go with intelligence. I have no common sence :D

Common sense! I've dealt with plenty of intelligent people that make me want to :slamhead: because they had no sense... common or otherwise.

However people with common sense usually have at least a modicum of intelligence to deal with.

I have to go w/ common sense.
I see my sister who has intelligence abound but no common sense and it sometimes is frighting.

I think on a day to day it is easy to get by w/ little intelligence but lots of common sense then vice versa.

Yup....I'd have to go with "Common Sense" as well. Although it's not nearly so common as the name would imply.

hm, what is the definition of intelligence? i usually refer to intelligence as the smart but not in the academic way. but here it sounds like intelligence is the brainy smart, so i'll go with the common sense

"There's just as much horse sense as ever...problem is, the horses have most of it!"

Hahaha! That's great!!!

I vote common sense. Without it, you don't survive long enough to be considered intelligent.
Plus people with common sense can normally figure out a way to get things done. Not all intelligent people can.
