My wife needs some help. She's doing some homework and needs adjectives to describe Dilbert. Neither one of us read the Funnies, so we're at a loss for adjectives. Please help. We need adjectives........

from Wikipedia :
The main character in the strip, Dilbert is a stereotypical technically-minded single male. He is usually pictured wearing a white dress shirt, black pants and a red-and-black striped tie which inexplicably curves upward (though it flattens when he meets Antina, an extra-masculine female co-worker; Adams has said that the phallic symbolism was intentional in Seven Years of Highly Defective People). In old Dilbert strips, his neck was long shaped. But in recent strips, his neck is smaller. Dilbert received his Masters degree in electrical engineering from MIT; he understands engineering well and has good ideas, but has a poor social life. Neither attractive nor blessed with tremendous social graces, Dilbert is capable but ignored at work, and struggles with his romantic life. While he is frequently seen having dates with eligible women, the dates almost invariably end in disaster, usually in surreal and bizarre ways. Dilbert loves computers and technology and will spend much of his free time playing with such things. Two comic strips show the tie pointed downward, which, according to Adams[1], was a secret message to readers of his newsletter that Dilbert had sex with a date the night before.

Apathetic. Unappreciated. Corporate drone. Kinda like the guys in Office Space.
And his tie's on Viagra.
