Either is nothing without the other. I'd rather be 50/50 than a guru in either. If I had to pick I'd take street smart. I associate street smarts with more well rounded abilities I guess. Book smart people had to learn to be book smart. Everybody can be street smart... It depends on how often you are put in a position to apply common sense. I don't believe in needing to know why something happens for everything that happens. Sometimes I just need to know it happens. Street smart is remembering the important things, book smart people try to remember everything.
