On a desert island

When I meet someone that I don't get along with, I ask myself "how would it be if we were left alone together on a desert island?" I have got this vision, that any two people who would end up being isolated could work together. Don't know if it's true, of course. Probably many people would just start quarreling, fighting and try to live on separate parts of this piece of land, but I believe most people could work together if they really tried.

Anyway, since this question keep coming back into my mind, I now think I know what types of people I would not enjoy be left alone with on any empty island.

I would definitely hate to be dependent on one of those guys who maybe are a little bit stupid, but who believe they are really smart (and therefor don't think any input from anybody else, in that case me, is needed). At a first thought, it would feel safe to be in the company of a physically strong person, but I believe some brains and a bit of imagination would be more valuable in most situations.

I would appreciate to explore the place, and not find the best tree and then just sit under it all the time. Talking would I prefer before endless silence. Some new jokes would be nice, or at least a person who would enjoy my silly ones. But the most important and valuable gifts are probably kindness and helpfulness when there is some kind of trouble.

What I myself would be like on a deserted island? What do you think, probably hungry and thirsty... let's hope I never end up there in the first place.
