High intelligence is not strongly correlated with success, in fact it's unfortunately correlated with things like increased chance of depression and suicide. Very high intelligence often comes as a result of some other deficiency in that person's life, for example they're socially withdrawn, highly reflective, and prefer to be alone with a book. Attractiveness makes people think higher of you, and your intelligence. But excessive attractiveness causes people to think you're superficial and focused on your beauty, rather than your intelligence. They may also objectify you, or be intimidated by you. Every coin has two sides. Every coin. As for categories like "excellent judgment" etc. these only can be identified post-factum from the results. I.e. it's a circular definition to say "this successful person making judgments correlates with his ability to make successful judgments". So I'm not sure that gives is a clue what to do, or what to be to get there. "Just make excellent judgments, damn it!" :-)
