i would choose intelligence because u could do so much with that. u could be wealthy and have a pointless life or u could be pretty and be clueless. but, if you're smart, that is the best gift

Intelligence! Beauty/good looks fade with time; wealth can be lost overnight, but intelligence is something that can't be taken away from you. With intelligence you can earn the money, with money you can buy the image of beauty/good looks if that's important to you, or marry the image (!). Hands down, intelligence is the most important factor in having a good life.

God offered me intelligence which I have used to scrupulously avoid wealth. It is difficult not to be envious of other physicians who make five times what I do working even fewer hours. The definition of beauty and good looks change with each generation and change over time so I would not opt for that. I readily admit that I am not much to look at. If I could choose I would choose the one thing you did not list which is a good and loving heart. I believe that I have that and I hope that the mistakes that I have made in life have been mistakes of the 'head' and not of the heart. Good question. You should post your results.

I would pick intelligence. Wealth just makes you want more things (most of the time) and beauty/good looks aren't all there is in life. You should have put personality/soul up there; in my opinion, that's the thing that matters the most. ;) But intelligence is the next best thing.

At this point in my life I realize that my good looks and great personality got me through a life of paycheck to paycheck, but wealth is what could get me through my entire life without having to say things like the point of life is the struggle. If I could have a do over, I would choose wealth, then intelligence, then good looks. I've never met an ugly wealthy guy that didn't have friends, but I've met ugly poor guys that didn't have friends. By friends I mean girlfriends and wives.

Well, honestly, beauty seems kinda useless. Wealth without intelligence won't last long, but intelligence can usually get you wealth. I'd say intelligence.

Wealth. I know so many intelligent pizza delivery drivers and fast food workers, and it's so depressing that they are stuck doing that because they didn't have the money to go to college. Beauty? You can buy that if you're wealthy. I'd rather be butt ugly and stupid and live in a mansion in Malibu and spend my life traveling than be intelligent, beautiful, but broke, stuck in a f***ing trailer park, then you end up making porn movies to make a buck and escape.

Intelligence. Beauty fades and wealth is fluxuating. Wealth and beauty can be obtained if one is intelligent, plus everything else that one could strive for. Only beauty in the form of good looks is dependent on those who admire. Only wealth supports those who would sponge and be disloyal.

I have intelligence, which will lead me to wealth once I finish college, and while I am not a "hottie", I am certainly not a "dog." Unfortunately, my intelligence is getting me nowhere in the social circle of life, as I am an Aspie and have a difficult time making friends. I would actually give up my intelligence just to have a friend, sadly, that's how bad I want one (a true friend).

Intelligence.Beauty and good looks fade away and wealth can be lost-or attract friends who are only friends because of your money. But intelligence is a gift and you can use it to help others.

What can beauty or wealth get you that intelligence can't ? With high intelligence, almost anything is possible.
