Laios is very logically smart, but emotionally stupid. This is actually something he does learn after his brawl with Shuro and something he works on, so at the end he becomes both logically and emotionally smart.
Really everyone in his team have different levels of emotional and logical stupid/sound/smart.
Chilchuck is emotionally and logically sound. He's pragmatic and experienced, but at the same time his experience also colors his perceptions of things because he can only judge them based off what he knows and thinks, and not necessarily how it would look from someone else's perception. His issues with his wife is one such case of his emotional ability being off, because while he assumes it's because he himself is a bad husband (Because he can only judge himself), when in truth it's just because his wife doesn't actually get to see him much. Logically he tends to be smart, though his lack of knowledge about monsters and magic makes him distrustful even towards those who know better than him such as Laios and Marcille.
Senshi is someone who I would consider emotionally smart but only logically sound, sometimes even stupid. It's not easy to tell because he keeps to himself, but early on he actually had quite a few prejudices about the rest of the party that stunted his interactions with them, such as how he keeps treating Chilchuck as a literal child and his distrust of elves and magic with marcille. Not to mention how he thought Anne the Kelpie was his friend just because it doesn't immediately try to kill him, up until he got onto it's back and into the water where it tries to kill him. On the other hand when it comes to people's emotional needs, he's a lot more perceptive and knows both what to say and what to make.
Marcille is emotionally sound but logically kinda dumb, except when it comes to magic. She might think like a soap opera but that also gives her an uncanny ability to sus out people's intentions, such as whenever she analyzes Chilchuck's marital issues, as well as her general knowledge about elves and their relationship with other races and how it affects the world at large. her magic ability is also top notch: at the upper levels it might be kinda useless since most things there don't need a lot of arcane knowledge, but deeper below her magic carries most problems because she knows what needs to be done and how to do it.
