I don't believe that one is more important than the other. I believe that it's important to have a good balance of both. Too much imagination and not enough intelligence could make someone lose their grasp on reality! Too much intelligence with little imagination would just make a boring robot of a person. Yuck. Balance is the key!

They are equally important because you can't really use one without the other. A person who is 100% imaginative but has zero intelligence would be living in their own dream world and would not be of much use to anyone. A person who has 100% intelligence but zero imagination would just be a walking encyclopedia. They would know a lot but would not be able to apply the intelligence (at least in new ways).
I think that your best thinkers in history would have scored high in both of these categories.

I believe imagination and intelligence are both very important but i think both might be equally important, Intelligence without imagination may lead to sucess but it would not be a fulfilled life because Imagination is needed for a life worth remembering, Even with the most money life would be boring without the excitement and adventures of imagination...
haha yea i think deep when im bored. =P

I believe that you should have the best of both worlds, really. What is intelligence worth if you have no creative way of applying it? What is imagination worth if you have no intelligence to back it up?

Do you really think you could have imagination without intelligence?

I have never known an intelligent person who lacked imagination. The two are inseparable.

depends on what you want to do in life... if you want a good career, intelligant is better but i personally think imagination is better! it can lead you places and tell you things you probably wouldnt know otherwise... imagination rocks!!! altho teachers might tell you otherwise.... keep on dreamin!!!
