Answer to Question 1

Few variables ever show perfect correlation, especially in correlating human characteristics. Most will not be above the moderate range.

Answer to Question 2

The coefficient of determination for r = .6 shows that the variables have 36 percent of their variance in common; when r = .3, the variables have 9 percent of their variance in common. The r=.6 would be more useful for prediction.
