Wise or intelligent? How about using intelligence to cultivate wisdom, in my mind, doesn't have to be one or the other, they feed each other. People with great wisdom are usually very intelligent in some aspect.

I'll take the introverted genius type, Alex, for $400!

Whatever else, I would despise myself if I were ever unmotivated.

Above average in all fields- typically, you then dwell where you are the most happy, and then you create your ability. Having a high background in them all lets you interact intelligently with others.

I would take the creative problem solving ability any day.

I would like to blend a high reaching philosophical vision with a field where I excel in a hands-on setting. It's like the old saying, ..."most of all, the world needs thnkers who DO"

A life of service to a higher cause will bring lasting contentment, where a life serving yourself is bound to leave you feeling empty. There is no reason you cannot benefit yourself while serving higher and greater freedoms and causes!
