Maybe the person is genuinely intelligent, honest, and altruistic, but not all that kindly or serene.

Fixed linkrot.

Today's post, The Halo Effect was originally published on 30 November 2007. A summary (taken from the LW wiki):

 

Positive qualities seem to correlate with each other, whether or not they actually do.


Discuss the post here (rather than in the comments to the original post).

This post is part of the Rerunning the Sequences series, where we'll be going through Eliezer Yudkowsky's old posts in order so that people who are interested can (re-)read and discuss them. The previous post was Unbounded Scales, Huge Jury Awards, & Futurism, and you can use the sequence_reruns tag or rss feed to follow the rest of the series.

Sequence reruns are a community-driven effort. You can participate by re-reading the sequence post, discussing it here, posting the next day's sequence reruns post, or summarizing forthcoming articles on the wiki. Go here for more details, or to have meta discussions about the Rerunning the Sequences series.
