What would you say are typical quirks of management consultants?

The species "management consultant" ;) 

Out of curiosity: What is the stereotypical management consultant like? How do they behave, what are their quirks and personalities like?

Excited to hear some ideas, stories etc. :)

While I feel that most of the quirks/traits are present in the consultants regardless of their profession (and they all happen to work together so these quirks/traits stick out), the one big change I keep seeing in people after joining consulting that outsiders find quite amusing is that they start speaking in bullet points (and usually prefer if others speak in bullet points too).
