“people smart” is the way to go. someone socially savvy knows people-people interactions, a phenomenal skill to have in life. book smarts are great for a job, possibly, but you can’t argue that the social skills necessary are also invaluable. and, as was mentioned, its not the popularity per se that is important, b/c having millions of friends is a statement while a few close and trustworthy friends are what counts; its the social skills that i would find important. chances are, someone with good skills will be successful in numerous relationships.
