I'm with Pat...I like what I've got now, a good mix of both. But I have to choose, I'd take street smarts. I've known too many people who were book smart who were complete and total social morons. They always knew the wrong thing to say in a given situation. Actually...I have an insane amount of trivia smarts. I never remember anything important but retain useless facts ad nauseam. Off the top of my head I can tell you what started WWI, the formula for calculating engine displacement, what a chimera is, and almost anything musically related...but I can't do algebra and could care less about literature.
