I am predicting most aspies will choose wisdom but that is based mostly because that is the one I would pick. This has to do with the video game: The Legend of Zelda for those of you that have no idea what I am talking about.

I picked power but I believe that knowledge (wisdom) is power so it's really a tie between the two for me. Well, I am a bit power hungry though..... :twisted:

Definitely wisdom. Although I wouldn't get the Triforce mark on the back of my hand, since I still have much to learn about the world.

I would say wisdom, I dont often in games and such do a lot of Power or Courage things. Wisdom makes you smart and stuff right.

As a joke I like an example in Legend of Zelda Abridged by Adamwestlapdog where Link asks what his Tri force alows him to do: (Mage) "Well you know when you see a bus, well sometimes it give you the power to jump in front of it." (Link) "Thats not brave, thats just stupid" (Mage) "Bravery, stupidity same thing realy."

In the Legend of Zelda, the Triforce of Power represents brute strength, force, etc.

I picked courage because power and wisdom are useless without it.

1st choice: wisdom
2nd choice: courage
3rd choice: power (I don't really want power though)

I didn't think it was a good point, I don't have courage but am very wise and fairly strong. I would like to have courage but I would not want to give up my wisdom or power for it.

You have to have courage in order to put that wisdom or power to use, in either a good or bad way. That's what makes Link the hero that he is.

The way I see it, I can study and learn all I want but that's useless if I don't have the courage to stand up to coworkers that are older and smarter than me and say "hey I have an idea..."

Now let me tell you how it really works, in my experience no one wants your opinion unless they ask for it so by mustering up the courage to say something the outcome will usually make you wish you had kept quiet. I don't mean to offend you in any way but courage isn't important to me, it seems too reckless. While you may have the courage to rush into battle, if you don't have a plan (wisdom) or any advantage over the enemy (power) then you will be killed.

Well then you and I have had two entirely different experiences in life.

Your battle analogy is similar to the work analogy. If you stand up and say you have an idea and you don't have an idea at all (a plan) or you have no place to talk (power) then that's just stupid.

Going back to the battle analogy, if you have a plan and an advantage but all you do is sit at home and think about it, you'll lose.

So yeah they're all dependent upon one another, but I'd still put courage at the top because even without wisdom or power you still have a chance to win with dumb luck. You have NO chance to succeed if you don't try.

As my dad told many times in sports growing up, "you miss every single shot you don't take"
