You've never met someone with a stunningly sharp technical mind, but the social intelligence of a gnat?

- CodeMage 11y agoPlenty of times. Heck, I used to be a lot closer to that end of the spectrum than I am now. That's how I know that there are plenty of words to describe that, because I've been called a number of them ;)
- Cookingboy 11y agoI have, and I'd call that person smart. He could be unobservant, insensitive, socially awkward and all nine yards but he's still smart.
- sliverstorm 11y agoColloquially that person would probably be called smart, but their (social) actions might be described as stupid. A smart person can be prone to doing stupid things.
- irishcoffee 11y agoA smart person can do stupid things, and a stupid person can do smart things. This does not disprove GP's point. Rather, you seem to agree.
