Tell-tale signs in such a person include an inexplicable love for creating problems to solve (technical or mechanical) when there's absolutely no need to, the constant need to find solutions for everyday issues that no one else gives a crap about, know-it-all syndrome, and the inability to admit they're wrong. Are usually social inept to some degree.
