What is intelligence (智力) anyway? When I was in the army I    1    an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against    2    of 100, scored 160.

    I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not    3    have scored more than 80.    4   , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him —and he always    5    it.

    Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man    6    questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I'd prove myself    7   . In a world where I have to work with my   8   , I'd do poorly.

    Consider my auto-repair man    9   . He had a habit of telling    10   . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb (聋哑) man    11    some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made    12    movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He    13    his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk    14    him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the    15  man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀).    16    do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his    17    and asked for them. I've been    18    that on all my customers today, but I knew    19    I'd catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated. Doc. I knew you couldn't be very    20   .”

    And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.
