Being a genius does not always mean you are humble and extrospective. Several geniuses throughout history seem to be impatient with how slow their contemporaries were to even comprehend their ideas and have shown signs of this.

Sheldon has demonstrated an overly extensive general knowledge of various subjects including electronics, experimental and applied physics, obscure mathematics, history and language, and many others from what I have seen from a narrow set of episodes and he also proclaimed he had an eidetic memory. The guy is the poster child for a TV genius.
