Dutch term or phrase: alfa's (in context)

I'm looking for something light-hearted for 'alfa's' for a beginners' book on bridge written in a straightforward style. Art lovers, or is that too specific?

Wie spelen er allemaal bridge?

Scholieren, studenten, alfa’s, techneuten, juristen, ict-ers, ministers, truckers, beleggers, pensionado’s, kortom: iedereen.

To give you an idea of the 'lightheartedness level' required (!), here's what I have so far:

Schoolkids, students, xx, boffins, lawyers, IT geeks, ministers, truckers, investors, expat pensioners - just about anyone in fact.

Zomaar een ideetje dat binnen de context past.
Geen referenties (behalve dan naar het gelijkluidende populair wetenschappelijke knalprogramma op Discovery...)

Grading comment

Inspired me to opt for the more general 'intellectuals'. Thanks, everyone.
