BookBlind

A person who is book smart but too arrogant toward social skills and networking, narrowly defines intelligence as academic ability, and refuses to adapt or acknowledge street smarts, which leads them to misunderstand how the real world actually works.

They are smart enough to work but too arrogant to rise.
He’s smart, but he’s kind of bookblind.
