I have met tons of people whose minds are not so analytical, but they seem to have their everyday lives together. Although the poll question already implies that you don’t have to have to be smart to have your shit together.

I like this. I would add Observant to the abilities that most people don't have that makes them appear stupid.
A thought I had the other day when dealing with this guy was that he wasn't stupid, he just doesn't
think a whole lot. Maybe that's a weird distinction, and certainly not a flattering thing I would actually say to this guy, but it sounded good to me.
I still voted yes though.
