I should like to think my greatest strength is my intellect. At the risk of sounding a braggart, I am a genius. However. Intelligence alone can be programmed into any number of sophisticated computers. Any android will readily assure you of that.
I, on the other hand, am not a computer, and therein lies my true strength. Compassion. My ability to feel as well as to think in any given situation. My capacity to care about the welfare of others and the inevitable outcome of my actions. I can recount any number of occasions when I chose empathy over intellect, in spite of what logic insisted should be the recommended course of action. In other words, I went with my hearts. No, it isn't very logical. But it has proven most effective against emotionally deficient adversaries, like daleks and cybermen.
