There are a number of mental disorders that can fall in the category.
- Autistic Spectrum Disease, Asperger's Syndrome, and Savants
They can be very smart, but in a limited field, and have difficulties with more general criteria.
There are several personality disorders that might be related.
Cluster A -- People who appear "odd or eccentric."
- Paranoid Personality Disorder
- Schizoid Personality Disorder
- Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Cluster B -- Highly egocentric people who may appear "dramatic, emotional, erratic."
- Antisocial Personality Disorder
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Histrionic Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Perhaps of the above list, Narcissistic Personality Disorder fits best into the category of people with hyperinflated egos, however, most of the personality disorders involve the individual putting themselves and their needs separate from society's needs.
