Like, in terms of pure computational power and testing ability - their IQ might be 230+ even (testing above 200 is difficult since tests are not calibrated for that so this is admittedly hyperbole).

However, they're really dumb because they never learned how to use that intelligence.

Lazy.

Or unmotivated more like. Lazy people tend to look for shortcuts, while unmotivated people just don't care.

Book smart is the mirror opposite of this. Book smart is someone that's been educated but might not be all that bright or is lacking practical experience.

The question, as asked, is someone who is razor sharp in terms of brain power, but totally unrefined. The word "ignorant" applies fairly literally, and I'd have to dig out a thesaurus to find a similar word that doesn't have quite the same pejorative (and I can't be arsed).
