I spent a lot of time thinking about whether it's more important to be kind or more important to be intelligent. Every time, I come to the conclusion that kindness is much more important than intelligence.

Since when were these mutually exclusive?

1. Work Ethic
2. Atttitude
3. Energy level
4. Knowledge
5. Leadership

Consistent ethics.

Quite so. Both behaviour and ethics. I had a friend at school who was the pnly black boy (and no, there really weren't many at all where I lived). When he was a teenager I was told that he was getting abuse from youths in the city centre, and I asked why.
When I was told it was racist abuse because he was black, my response was "no he isn't". I'd just never thought about it. Shows what matters to little boys growing up together.
No-one I know well is married, has children, earns much, or talks about their religion.

When I meet someone, it depends on the looks of the person, their eyes, and what I have heard of them from before. If I get to know someone better, I base my respect on their intelligence, dedication to their points of view, personality..

Is it true that to really be sure on what the other person ethics are is to either work with them in many hours of the day on many weeks or live with him or her to really know and give respect on the criteria of observing another individual's behavior on moral conducts in a consistence level?

My criteria is, essentially, are they being who they say they want to be.

 

[Kozmos]

Behavior and a look in their eyes tell me everything.

 

[scipian]

I respect people on competence and then intelligence. Of course, if somebody is mildly competent but has some other tremendous gift, that one will have a bigger influence to me.

Other - Manners

However, since I did not have that option, I voted "Level of Education".

 

[Desmond Hawkins]

1. Behaviour
2. Education
3. Ethics
4. Politics

Intelligence and sense of humor. The closest to either of those on the poll is education, but it's a poor approximation of intelligence.

 

[CaptainF]

Whether or not they are a dickhead, to be quite frank.

 

[LuckyAC]

Whether or not they are a dickhead, to be quite frank.

Which way makes you respect them?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I respect people most for their attitude on life, though in this quiz I guess education is the top choice. Sense of humour is important as well.

It says a great deal about this forum that "intelligence" has such an overwhelming majority of votes.

 

[Mirc]

Let me clarify again my opinion, which I already partially clarified in page 2:

When I said culture, I meant how much culture an individual has, not at all from which culture he comes from!
I considered level of education the level of learning he has (student, college student, etc), not actually how intelligent or well-educated he is.

 

[Azash]

It says a great deal about this forum that "intelligence" has such an overwhelming majority of votes.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

 

[Mise]

I don't see anything wrong with that.

Two-thirds of people on this forum claim to respect intelligence, but that's rarely what happens on this forum.
