Actuary
Both great qualifications requiring major brainpower, but have you met many Acturies in real life. There are exceptions, obviously, but they have a very high incidence of Autism Spectrum disorders like Aspergers.
As an aside: It's a Chinese Actuary who some people blame for the start of the global financial crisis. He worked out some (very) complicated formula to put a risk number on all the financial instruments the crappy house-loans were packaged in. So the traders thought since they had a good handle ion what the odds were they could safely trade them....
