My boss asked me about an applicant to our company who had worked with me before in a similar position somewhere else.
I recalled (to myself) that he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but that he did try and did do some creative things in a pretty humdrum position, even tho he was pretty slow. i told her that when i knew him he did a good job, that he was a little slower than some of us, and was an easy person to get along with. I also said that my assessment should be considered with the fact that it was some years since I worked with him and it is quite possible that he has improved in speed since then. Hell, i did too.
