I think [reasonable] falls under the heading of [honest].

Both honesty/reasonableness and intelligence are required. A family memebr is tearing her hair out about having to work with some assistants who are honest, well-intentioned, and pleasant, but who are just mentally incapable of keeping things straight — they literally screw things up and make more disorganization than they fix (fortunately, better help is supposedly on the way).

Overall, in hiring and working with people, most of the time, a warm body is definitely NOT better than nobody.
