Dr Sheldon Lee Cooper, BSc, MSc, MA, PhD, ScD, is a Caltech theoretical physicist from Pasadena, California in the TV show, The Big Bang Theory as well as the spin off series Young Sheldon. Originally coming from East Texas, Sheldon commenced college at the young age of 11 and gained his first PhD at the age of sixteen.
When he was young, Sheldon was involved with quite a few experiments, such as his system to be able to provide free electrical power for his home town by building a nuclear reactor which had been ended by officials with the government proclaiming it's unlawful to store uranium inside a garden shed. He is pretty geeky, proudly talking Klingon, wearing antique t-shirts that sport superhero logos, or espousing varied unimportant and cultural stories.
Sheldon has a great number of flaws. Sheldon might be characterized by his stringent compliance to routine and cleanliness, particularly his bathroom routine; he's got a attachment to an excessively intellectual personality; a really tenuous understanding of irony, sarcasm and also humour, that he can try to learn with a variety of problems; and a general lack of humility or empathy. It is these attributes of his character which were the key source of humour in the Big Bang Theory, for example his recurring need to sit in his spot and the use of the Cooper Coupon in order to compensate his friends. As the episodes progress Sheldon develops a far more human character due to the influences of his good friend Penny and his wife Amy.
There has been quite a few descriptions of the character in the psychological literature with some wondering that Sheldon has a higher functioning autism. The shows creators have denied that. His characteristic idiosyncrasies, unpragmatic obsessions as well as intense narcissism have created a significant dialogue amongst experts. Sheldon also displays characteristics that can be related to being a prodigy which may consist of things such as having an blown up ego, being socially inept, and having a lack of ability to relate emotionally with others. Sheldon can be deemed very conceited, narcissistic, selfish, and self-righteous. Despite his high degrees of intelligence, he's got an apparent lack of emotional maturity and Sheldon is frequently perplexed and mixed up by even the most frequent social relationships. Sheldon frequently fails to comprehend the most straightforward mocking jokes made by his friends.
Sheldon doesn't have the cabability to find fault in something that he is doing in his life. This holds to the extent which he does not believe that when he commits a criminal offense that he is actually carrying out something incorrect. In one episode Sheldon insults a judge while in court on account of his understanding that his employment and standing was more advanced than that of the judge's. He ended up in jail for that. He perceives it as his absolute right to be capable of interfere with something which doesn't involve or concern him simply because it benefits or pleases him. He can be freely really ostentatious and condescending towards individuals around him like Howard whom he treats like a simpleton since he has only a master’s education. Sheldon on scarce instances demonstrates a desire for interactions, which was most obvious in the romantic relationship with Amy.
