Character Information Name: Sheldon Cooper Journal Name: bazinga_ Fandom: The Big Bang Theory Link to Icon for Taken List: here Age: 32 Race: Human Special Abilities: Eidetic memory, High IQ, Vast knowledge of quantum physics and a variety of sciences. Knowledgeable. Sexuality: Straight Point in Canon: End of season 5 Brief History (or wiki link): here Brief Personality: Sheldon is usually characterized as extremely intelligent, socially inept and rigidly logical. Despite his intellect, he sometimes displays a lack of common sense. He has a superiority complex, but also possesses childlike qualities, of which he seems unaware, such as extreme stubbornness.
Sheldon possesses an eidetic memory and an IQ of 187, although he claims his IQ cannot be accurately measured by normal tests. He originally claimed to have a Master's Degree and two doctoral degrees, but this list has increased. Sheldon also has an extensive general knowledge in many subjects including physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, cosmology, mathematics, calculus, differential equations, vector calculus, computers, computer science, electronics, engineering, history, geography, linguistics, and various languages like Spanish, French, Chinese Mandarin, Persian, Arabic, and Klingon from Star Trek. Although his friends have similar intellects to him, his eccentricities, stubbornness and lack of empathy often frustrate them. Sheldon occasionally uses slang (in a very unnatural fashion), and follows jokes with his catchphrase "Bazinga!", which is now an officially registered trademark of Warner Brothers. He is uncomfortable with human physical contact and has a phobia of germs, which make his exceptionally rare hugs extremely awkward and painful-looking. Sheldon has difficulty coping when he is interrupted, when asked to keep a secret, or when he hears arguing. He is also a notary public and uses his knowledge in law and contracts usually for his own advantage and is always distressed when challenged in a legal aspect that he cannot logically defend.
Like his friends, Sheldon is scientifically inclined, and is fond of comic books (especially the DC Universe), costumes, roleplaying games, video games, tabletop games, collectible card games, action figures, fantasy like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, and science fiction, like Stargate, Firefly, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, and particularly Star Trek, in which his favourite character is Spock. However, he maintains an adamant dislike of the television series Babylon 5. Sheldon has restraining orders from his heroes Leonard Nimoy, Carl Sagan, and Stan Lee. Sheldon often wears vintage T-shirts adorned with superhero logos.
Sheldon has appeared, at times, to show empathy, including lending money to Penny without expecting it back quickly (although that may just have been his logical Spock-like response to a problem to be solved; it was, after all, money he was not using and would not miss) and driving her to a hospital when her shoulder was dislocated. He dislikes gifts, because the "social contract" in his view creates either a debt or burden on the receiver of the gift which will not stop until one of the two involved in the "gift-relationship" dies leaving the other either in debt or with an undue surplus. Sheldon does not take drugs, not even legal ones such as caffeine, due to a promise to his mother, and is hypersensitive when he accidentally consumes them.
In response to criticism from his friends that he is mentally ill, Sheldon often retorts, "I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested." His mother confirms this statement but adds "...although I do regret not following up with that specialist in Houston."
