Why is SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Intellisense not working?

Question

I\'m being driven to insanity trying to figure out why Intellisense just fails to work at all. The server I\'m using is local and is 2008, the database is set to 2008 compat

I recently wrote a tip about troubleshooting IntelliSense. The title says SQL Server 2012 but most of the techniques can be applied to earlier versions of Management Studio as well.
