What is intelce (智力) anyway? When I was in the army I1an intelce test that all soldiers
took, and, against2 of 100, I scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelce tests, could not3have scored more than
80.4 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him-and he always5it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man6 questions for some intelce tests. By every one of
them I'd prove myself a7. In a world where I have to work with my8, I'd do poorly.

and made12movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He 13his head and
pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk14 him some nails. He picked out the right size
and left.Well, Doc, the15man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀).16do 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 his17 and asked for them. I've been
18that on all my customers today,but I knew19I'd catch you.' 'Why is that?' I asked. 'Because
you are so goded educated. Doc. I knew you couldn't be very20 '.
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.
