What do you value most in other people? What's important to you?

[SKYNET]

you must be honest in the current thread, you don't need to ask why.
PS Im gonna create the poll right now.

[肃杀]

IQ of course.
Being white doesn't exempt you from my scorn if you're a dumb fuck.

[Kale]

Benevolence.

[Sabinae]

Spirit/soul.... guess it implies wisdom more than IQ. And souls come in colours too.... But flesh will never be able to portray those.

[Absinthe]

Simplistic question;

but anyway - IQ (also including character traits, honesty, good manners etc) over race (color, etc).

Is this even a question? Would anyone in their right mind value more a dumb, trashy, no-good member of their own race over an intelligent and apt member of another, solely because of a pigmentation preference?

Seriously?

[Anusiya]

Good point, IQ has been proven to be destructive when being the sole factor.

[SKYNET]

first one is my choice.

[Jackson]

Honesty and directness.

But i picked IQ, valuing someone for pigmentation seems fairly stupid. Might as well value someone on the size of their elbows, or the number of legs they have.

Judgement should be done based on deeds not outward appearance, although IQ is of course not the biggest factor in who they are - Unless you are valuing them for their problem-solving skills or other intelligence (if you had to employ somebody for something).

[Mark]

Integrity

[SKYNET]

Sarmatian doesn't agree with an IQ :D

[QuelleHorreur]

I mainly use race as a safety factor. (Ordinary looking black dudes are statistically less safe than ordinary looking white dudes and ordinary looking chinese dudes are statistically less dangerous than the first two. Simple as that).
I am not oblivious to racial dimensions, they determine a lot of general behaviours.
On a personal level however: mind over matter!!
I have never disliked an otherwise likeable person on the basis of race.

[Partizan]

I am not sure about IQ but I would say common sense.

[Frosty]

Neither both of them.
Having high IQ scores doesn't make you good and reliable person.I think it's even the opposite- lot of criminals have high IQ level.
Race or eye color doesn't make you a honest man also.
