Aside from his idiosyncrasies, Sheldon is purely logical. As a corollary, it is apparent that he believes everyone else to be intellectually inferior to him, including fellow physicists and even Isaac Newton.[6] Sheldon has an overly extensive general knowledge, such as shown by his comments regarding the introduction of the fork into Thailand.[7] Despite his intelligence, Sheldon is usually inept in most social interactions.Sheldon's eccentricities, snide remarks, and high logical and intellectual personality put him at odds with his own friends and especially Penny. He not only fails to understand the simplest sarcastic jokes made by Leonard[7], but also regards Penny's sadness over her breakup with blatant confusion.[8] However, recently, he has begun to understand the concept of sarcasm, attempting unsuccessfully to employ it himself towards Penny in the second season,[9] and successfully employing it towards his friends in the third season. Sheldon occasionally uses slang but essentially fails, and his new catchphrase is "Bazinga!". He isn't entirely sure how to hug someone.[10][11]Sheldon also has childish qualities. For example, he must get his way, such as in naming the Caltech Physics Bowl team or choosing the way to go to San Francisco for a conference where he seeks Nobel laureate George Smoot's approval, and he needs his mother (or Penny) to care for him when he is sick, which involves singing "Soft Kitty" and rubbing Vicks on his chest. He cannot stand to be interrupted, concede when he doesn't know something, lie, or hear a person bicker or people fight, crinkling his lips with insane frustration when any of these happen.[12][13][14] Sheldon cannot drive an automobile, and needs his friends to take him places; he feels someone of his intellect does not need to learn how to drive.[15]Like his friends, he is scientifically inclined, and is fond of comic books, video games, and general science fiction, with numerous references made to Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Stargate, Star Trek, and Star Wars. Sheldon is particularly fond of the Star Trek franchise and is a fan of science officer Mr. Spock. Penny once gave Sheldon a napkin used by Leonard Nimoy, the actor who originally played Spock, and this greatly overwhelmed Sheldon as he now possessed the DNA of his famed idol.[10] He also used to idolize fictional prodigy Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation for qualities of the character he found similar to himself, but Wil Wheaton's surprise cancellation of an appearance at a Jackson, Mississippi Trek convention in 1995 caused Sheldon to swear vengeance against Wil in the form of a customizable card game tournament.[16] Another favorite character of his is Batman.[17][13][18] He likes playing Halo every Wednesday[19][17] and paintball on the weekend with his friends.[17]Unlike Leonard, Sheldon embraces his genius fully and is not ashamed of admitting his particularly eccentric interests (such as Klingon Boggle).[8][20]Sheldon does not seem to be able to tolerate alcohol, caffeine or other drugs very well as demonstrated in different instances. A small amount of alcohol made him extremely boisterous;[21] and a small amount of coffee made him extremely hyperactive;[22] taking valium also affected his behavior.[18]Sheldon often wears vintage t-shirts adorned with superhero logos, specific to the DC universe, among them the Flash, Superman, Aquaman, and the Green Lantern. He usually wears his shirts with a long sleeve underneath and commonly wears plaid pants. Sheldon is tall and thin (setting him apart from his shorter colleagues), with Penny saying he looks like a praying mantis, and Raj likening Star Wars C-3PO to "a shiny Sheldon".

Took this at Myrtle Beach a few years ago.
