Would you accept this trade-off?

[Horse Style]

PRO: You get to have a super high IQ and your mind operates on a super high-level. You can calculate and figure things out way faster than other people. You can read and understand material quicker than anyone.

CON: You're very obsessive and socially inept. You obsess over small, menial things and you have rituals that you are compelled to perform all the time. You also don't understand social cues and come off extremely awkward in society.

Would you accept this trade-off? Basically being a super genius but also being the most inept individual socially and being super obsessive.

 

[The Clamburglar]

Moderate intelligence and social skills sounds more fun to me.

 

[MacDuffle]

So I'm Woody Allen

That basically described me from teens to kids twenties. Alocohol was a godsend

 

[SMillard]

well I've pretty much already got the Con, so sure I'll take the pro part.

Somebody just watched The Accountant trailer!




And I'd take the super IQ. Already have decent social skills so I know what's like that. I want to know what it's like to be a genius.

You are correct, sir. I forgot to mention this trailer is what inspired this thread in the OP

 

[Superbad]

Sounds like Christian Bale's character in The Big Short.

 

[John Wang]

OP described me perfectly with the Pro side, but described the exact opposite of me with his Con side, so I'm going to opt out of this one

 

[DrunkenHigh]

I would rather be dumb and happy OK.

I'm comfortable being the dumbass that I am thanks.

 

[Brampton_Boy]

Ha, I'm well on my way to this already. Although probably not quite to those extremes.

I'm a book smart guy with mild OCD and the social grace of a potato (depending on the situation).

 

[genecop]

Already pretty much have that situation.

 

[Reyesnuthugr]
