I guess I’d chose to lose my social ability. Social ability without intelligence is simply useless, whereas intelligence does not require social ability.
I’d rather lose intelligence, even though I rely on it for my livelihood and much of my joy in life. It’s far easier to succeed moderately through charm than skill, and keeping my intelligence just means I have to work way harder to stay where I am.
Plus, I like people.
That said, losing my ability to think is one of my greatest fears. So, you can take your question and shove it. ~_^
I’d take social ability any day. I don’t want to be a cold, isolated brain. Having a spouse is something that helps you live the longest and most happily. Intelligence just keeps you thinking about shit. I’d much rather have close relationships and be well-loved than be super intelligent and discover the unified field theory.
I would cast off my social ability as I need my intellect to do my job and I like getting a paycheck plus I know my friends value my smarts more than my smile.
Depends on where I live. If it’s a place like Hollywood where it’s not what you know, but who you know, then I’d pick to lose intelligence. A place like…idk…nerd-land haha and I’ll get rid of those pesky “social skills”.
