Do You Want Your Baby To Grow Up To Be Popular Or Really Smart?

In a recent study, 150 moms were asked to rank six traits, from most to least important in terms of characteristics they hoped their children would have.

The six traits were agreeableness, extroversion, openness, intelligence, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. And the moms were given examples as to what each one meant.
For example, extroversion means you tend to be more social.

More than half of moms said that being social was the most important trait.

Here are the results:

1. Extroversion. 51% said it's the best trait their kid could have.
2. Agreeableness, 20%
3. Intelligence, 10%
4. Openness, 10%
5. Conscientiousness, 9%
6. Neuroticism, 0%

It's hard to pick one, so my top three would be conscientiousness, intelligence, agreeableness, but not necessarily in that order.

I hope my daughter grows up to be kind, funny and nerdy. If she's nerdy, then she'll hopefully do well in school. She already has a nerdy little laugh, which is adorable!
