The best analysts are almost exclusively male and their social tendencies vary between obnoxious aspergers to staring at their shoes when they walk and keeping a couple fingers in contact with the nearest wall at all times as they navigate the basements of the NSA. There’s a few brilliant women who are like this as well, but their number is relatively smaller.
