Yeahhh, Ruby does tend to be dense. She's not very brain-smart in general. She's battlefield-smart, but not brain-smart. She gets by with her natural physical skills, rather than her schoolwork, though Weiss inspired her to actually try to apply herself more to her schoolwork and start studying so she can do better, back in Volume 1.

Still, even though she's working on her book-smarts, she can still be dense about anything outside of combat. She even has a limited vocabulary, as evidenced by the tussels-truffles-brussels conversation and her confusing "facetious" for "famished".
