Speaking of engineers, this morning I read an article about a study was done to determine if Rocket scientists were really smarter than the average person.  The study found that they are not.  I had a PhD that worked for me, and he was an "rocket scientist", had a poster in his office that said "why yes, I am a rocket scientist" and believed he was of superior interllect.  But the guy had no common sense and couldn't manage to save his life.  He had been an AF Colonel, in charge of some AF scientific center.  We used to speculate that he must have had a really great staff, to keep him on track.  I don't know when I have actually met someone with less common sense.
