Probably except this one: A balance of technical, business, and social/emotional intelligence.

More than likely someone with this sort of technical capacity doesn't score well in other areas.

Have to disagree a bit. If you aim to have this level and breadth of skill over a n-year period where n<5, yeah, your personal and social life would suck.

But if this is built over 5+ years by reading, doing and learning from others and teaching others while understanding what level of abstraction/detail meets the current and future business requirements reasonably well, it's not that difficult or rare.
