I came across this on another forum I participate in and was entertained by the gesture.

Subject: Re: [DIYGasTurbines] Forgot to say n5vb I'm convinced that the best test there is for mechanical aptitude is
to have a person take something apart and put it back together, the
more complex the better. If it doesn't work afterward, send them home. If it works, keep them, they're OK. If it works **better**, they're probably engineer material. Applies to just about anything mechanical, and I have yet to find a
counterexample. There's something to that ability to *see* how things work, and feel
how parts fit together. It's not something that's anywhere near easy
to teach, and some people are just born with it. Very few, in my
experience. ;-)
Sounds a lot like something that should be thought of when contemplating any major R&R or swaps? What was the first thing you can remember taking apart, that you were able to put back together and have it work, or work better?
