There is an advert on recently where the guy starts screaming and pretends to get chucked out of the office, so all the other potential employees run away, then his mate is the only one left, brilliant advert.

If a very technically-oriented person asks me about my technical skills, I am going to evaluate them differently than if asked by someone with a non-technical orientation. If you are a tech person, you would probably rate me as a one or a two on the technical chart from one to ten. But at my last job, I frequently served as technical support for the extremely non-technically minded staff--to them I was probably an eight. This seems to me to be a problematic area in your interviewing, maybe designed to throw people off. In your shoes I would clarify this point to interviewees, and have the non-technical person say to the interviewee to rate their skills in technical aspects of that particular job, somehow to phrase the question in a way that makes it clear that you expect the answer to be the same as the answer they will give to the tech staff.
