What makes you employable today may or may not make you so in two or three decades. For example, if an increasingly large fraction of cognitive employment is taken over by technology it is possible that the skills related to direct human-to-human interactions become the best bet. If this happens being kind may indeed make you more employable than being smart. (Caveat: as I argued in another post, smart person still has an advantage: she can generally learn other skills including being kind easier than a not-so-smart person)
