A magazine had some "intelligence tests" in it, and a friend and I were doing all those "what is the next shape" puzzles. His wife said "I don't understand those at all". The next page had a test involving faces and names - you had 30 seconds to memorize them, his wife looked at them for a short while and said "go on, turn the page". She got every one right, and I and my friend hardly got any!

I have taught accountants, engineers and managers how to use computers - they look pretty silly hitting the wrong keys and not knowing how to open a doucment, but I never think they are dumb. They just lack information about computers.
