let me first say that i'm sure everyone with lower stats has a great personality and wonderful personal skills and i'm in no way trying to belittle or offend them.
i just get tired of everyone assuming that people with high stats have some sort of personality deficiency or social "ineptness". not just on sdn, but the entire world gets this idea sometimes. everyone now and then you come across some really intelligent savant that has some quirks, but even this genius professor i know who is insanely smart tries really hard to be polite to people and fit in socially.
i just want to stand up for people who made extra efforts to study in college. you can be smart and cute and fun AND have a great personality. it's not like its something that's completely unattainable or mystical. i have had the pleasure of meeting some very highly intelligent people and i can vouch for them...they were some of the nicest, kindest, and caring people i've ever met. they also had great personalities and people really liked them.
so i dont know where everyone gets this idea that if you make good grades or score well on tests, that there is something wrong with your personality. that's more often the exception than the norm.
