This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
For the most part, the conjecture of multiple intelligences is just egalitarian hopium, especially when it comes to carrying water for non-Asian minorities (e.g., blacks—and to a lesser extent—latinos). See, for instance: Other Ways of Knowing.
Assuming there are no aesthetic implications, I’d happily sacrifice 1/3 st. dev. of athleticism for +5 IQ points.
I played a lot of sports when I was a teenager and was quite good at them, which got me a lot of free female attention. However, as an adult it doesn’t do me too much good, aside from the very occasional sport-related work outing where I can do some aura farming.
Even with 1/3 st. dev. or more (within reason) of loss in athletic ability I could still easily ragdoll a chick if she initiates playfighting, so no concerns there in the domain that really matters.
