These are all seem equally important, however, if we are to choose among the above-mentioned traits, which would you choose? This is a question which has been commonly ask during pageant's Q&A portion, or even during a job interview, in rare cases. So which one would you opt for?

hi, a person should have this all and we call them a perfect one but of course God will never give a perfect one,in the three of them i will choose the intelligence above all because you ca get the wealth and also the beauty if you are intelligence in to the eyes of many people around you.

I thought about a millionth of a second before I decided to pick intelligence. Intelligence is the one thing that can be everlasting. I mean, if you are smart enough, then you can really find a way to make money. However, wealth without intelligence, talk about something that is going to come back to bite you. One bad investment or people taking advantage of you and it is going to be all over. All of the money in the world is gone, when people are not smart enough to utilize it. As for looks, yeah they might be nice but they are going to fade. Stupidity is forever, and so is intelligence, depending on what end of the spectrum your mind is. Plus intelligence will keep you in the door where looks only will really keep you right in the door each and every time. So yeah, in the end, it is intelligence all of the way. It is quality that can rarely steer a person wrong if ever.

I'd rather have intelligence. Over the years, unless the beauty is of the soul, beauty fades. Physical beauty doesn't always last forever, but a beautiful heart and mind is a gift to everyone around them. Wealth can be made (or lost) in a heartbeat. Intelligence is something you have forever and no one can take that away from you. Well, the exception would be developing Alzheimer's or something, but I'm meaning it in the everyday sense. I would always choose intelligence, because with intelligence, you can acquire wealth, help people, help yourself, and still have a beautiful heart and mind.
