I know what you mean, Faraday got laughed at in school and was utterly pathetic there, but excelled in the scientific field,and yes, thinking outside the box is also key to cleverness, which is a part of intelligence. As for mathematically inclined, I don't think it's too narrow, there are so many types of mathematics, and mathematical-logical intelligence is a type of intelligence that is classified in the theory of multiple intelligences, as is verbal-lierary. Now, by mental function, I mean how much information your mind can gather, store, and access, and how quickly and efficiently it can do this. And it's true that people are all very intellectually diverse, but I'm talking in general, not y'know, being intellectually perfect, but at the very least above average, versatile, and having a bit of variety in there. I believe that creativity and intelligence are two sides of the same coin, much like most of the options up here, but I believe that there is something that separates certain aspects of the two. And also, yes ma'am, I actually know a few people who are geniuses in some areas, but completely useless in others, it's how we humans work. Nobody is a nigh all-mastering supergenius like rick Sanchez or Dexter, otr all of the ones in kids' cartoons, but again, I'm going for a well-rounded type of intelligence, that encompasses several subcategories.

Intelligence, or creativity?
Creativity cannot exist without intelligence, but intelligence can exist without creativity, so I’ll go with creativity.

Strength, or appearance?
Physical or mental strength? If it’s mental strength, then strength, but if it’s physical, then appearance.

Indulgence, or struggle?
Struggle, because without it you’ll never know what you’re capable of

Time, or space?
Time. Space and time are both seemingly inifinate, but time will eventually run out for us all.

Creation, or destruction?
Creation. As long as I create, destruction wont bother me, thus keeping me in a better mental state. I can’t count on others to create, but I can trust them to destroy.

Reality, or dream?
Reality. A dream is simply a dream, you can only accomplish things in reality.

Life, or death?
Life. Even though it is a struggle, it will be better than the uncertainty of death, and the chances of purgatory or hell, though one could argue that is what life is at times.

Science, or religion?
Religion. Science is all about facts and what cannot be done, while religion is about hope and what will be.

Technology, or magic?
Technology. Magic would be unpredictable, but technology is loyal and can be controlled, unlike magic.

@Masterkey

Yep, I agree with all of that. So since you chose intelligence over creativity as the thing more important to you, are you saying that you'd rather have above average general intelligence and be an uncreative person than vise versa?

@m1dn1g7t_ri0ts_13

Nice! I wouldn’t say technology is completely loyal and predictable, though. I think tech is pretty loyal, but don’t put all of your trust into because sometimes it doesn’t work perfectly.

@Masterkey

Those were interesting answers jynandor. Why would you prefer beauty over physical strength? Not being accusatory, and I think I actually lean toward physical beauty when I'm just living my day to day life, but I'd like to think I appreciate physical strength more.

I agree with all of that jyn', except for that death is uncertain. You know, death is the most certain thing in life for all of us. Sure, you won't know when where why, or how, but it will come for you. Still, nice answers.
