Reid is noted for his social awkwardness and prodigious brilliance, which draws on his analytical way of thinking and establishes him as the encyclopedic brainiac of the group. He has an affinity for words - from reading and scrutinizing texts at an astounding 20,000 words per minute and his rambling of long explanations and tangents. He tends to miss social cues at times. On par with being an eccentric genius with trouble conforming to social behavior, the show has hinted at symptoms correlated with schizophrenia, (minor) autism, and Asperger's Syndrome, as evident by his bursts of long-winded commentary. Spencer is a physically fit young man. He has wavy, light brown hair, light brown eyes, and a wide smile. He stands at 6'1 with a slender, athletic build due to a physically demanding job at the BAU. He dresses in a signature, uniform nerdy-chic wardrobe consisting of standard collared dress shirts, ties, and slim-cut vests or suits
