I sometimes run into people who mistake the ability to Google well (a very teachable skill) with intelligence.
They often work in IT jobs, and for all their lives have heard how smart they were because of stereotypes around computers, science and nerds. Knowing how to use command line tools and put together a computer does not often equal extremely high intelligence.
