The Myth of the Pure of Heart Intellectual Nerd

The myth of the pure of heart intellectual nerd strikes me as extremely false for my experience and I know a lot of nerds in academia. The parameter do you have social skills and then theparameter do you have intellectual interests are pretty separate. So you could have high social skills and really deep passionate intellectual interests and you could have low social skills and not much of intellectual interest these are just two separate things. But these factors are constants that can change with time and context that would be the key point.
