Engineering students with weird personalities.

<p>I was reading about Cody Cousins, the Purdue EE student who murdered Andrew Boldt a couple weeks ago. </p>

<p>Basically what they were saying is that he "didn't like to be told he was wrong".</p>

<p>I read that a couple times and I immediately thought of many people in some of my classes. Some people can be very smart but extremely immature, tactless and emotionally unstable.</p>

<p>Last week I attended a Calculus III SI session and this kid struck me as very odd from the very beginning. He went out of his way to show everybody that he knew his stuff.</p>

<p>After about 10 minutes, he was sitting by himself because no one wanted to be around him.</p>

<p>I got so turned off by his personality that honestly, I can't picture this guy with a woman anytime soon.</p>

<p>I am still wondering why a person like this would be attending a SI session if he knows everything. Bizarre!</p>

<p>Oh, bschoolwiz. :expressionless: </p>

<p>I don’t know what an SI session is but maybe that person didn’t attend a higher level session beause then he’d only be average relative to the other students whereas if he were to be in a lower level, he’d be relatively more knowledgeable.</p>

<p>That’s a guess though.</p>

<p>You’ll find people like that in any field, not just science and engineering.</p>

<p>In job ads, a lot of companies will say things like, “No Know-It-Alls” because they can be so destructive to a team. </p>
