Usually these are the type of people that will excel in military training. Alot of people don't realize that many spec ops personnel are, in fact, classified as "nerds".
Take Army Green Berets. Aside from being able to conduct special warfare, most Green Berets need to know multiple languages, be excellent diplomats, and be excellent teachers. The main mission of alot of special operations teams is not to conduct warfare, but to teach small groups of people to conduct warfare for themselves. That is what is happening in Afganistan, and to a bigger extent in Iraq right now (granted most of the training in Iraq has been turned over to more "traditional" Army units).
Good luck to anybody that has the goal of joining the spec ops forces. If you are serious about joining up, then you need to make that goal the center of your life in order to achieve it.
