T needs to be someone I can respect, I very easily, and naturally respect intelligence.


If T is less intelligent than I am, then no way can I trust him to have the capabilities and competencies necessary to help me.


I'm not really interested in the relationship or any kind of connection with a T, my trust is more of the "I trust you to be able to do your job" variety.

Its a nice bonus if the T and I "click"...
