Lets say you get abducted by aliens.
They inform you that they want to make contact with human individuals, not the entire humanity. They have a limited telepathy and can “scan” for human mental traits like spiritualistic / non-spiritualistic, artistic / non-artistic, introverted / extroverted, anxious / chill, low / med / high IQ, technology oriented, business savvy, mathematically gifted, socially gifted, scientific, etc.
They want you to define traits that would make encounters go smoothly and be representative of humans.
Without knowing anything about those aliens or their interests. What is your answer?
Cool under pressure maybe? I expect a lot of people would freak out upon meeting an alien which is probably pretty inefficient. And smart is presumably a benefit. That’s not really representative of most humans though lol
What kind of person would be cool under preasure? For example, in my experience people who take cool headed action in a accident scenes are very varying. Some people just go in to a no bullshit mode and execute a plan they really haven’t even thought of. Emotion take a break.
Would this kind of “automated” reaction be a correct way to go?
Are there several forms cool headedness? Analytical cool headedness?
