I mean, I explicitly _said_ it was a cliche. But I'd argue that it's not wrong. I guess if I had to describe the kind of person I'm thinking of in a more nuanced way, I'd say they're educated and very good, often brilliant, in their chosen work, but both have low emotional intelligence and are lacking a sort of...I don't know how to put it exactly...basic ability to take care of themselves.

There are also plenty of booksmart nerds with high emotional and practical intelligence. (I like to think I'm one, sure didn't used to be.) On the whole they are fun people to be around.
