Description

@annaymj

Code Sample,

from pandas.api.types import is_integer_dtype, is_numeric_dtype, is_string_dtype, is_bool_dtype
import numpy as np
is_numeric_dtype(bool)
# True

is_numeric_dtype(np.bool)
# True

Problem description

is_numeric_dtype is returning true for boolean values

source code below
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/v1.1.5/pandas/core/dtypes/common.py#L1223-L1262

def is_numeric_dtype(arr_or_dtype) -> bool:
    """
    Check whether the provided array or dtype is of a numeric dtype.
    Parameters
    ----------
    arr_or_dtype : array-like
        The array or dtype to check.
    Returns
    -------
    boolean
        Whether or not the array or dtype is of a numeric dtype.
    Examples
    --------
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(str)
    False
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(int)
    True
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(float)
    True
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(np.uint64)
    True
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(np.datetime64)
    False
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(np.timedelta64)
    False
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(np.array(['a', 'b']))
    False
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(pd.Series([1, 2]))
    True
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(pd.Index([1, 2.]))
    True
    >>> is_numeric_dtype(np.array([], dtype=np.timedelta64))
    False
    """
    return _is_dtype_type(
        arr_or_dtype, classes_and_not_datetimelike(np.number, np.bool_)
    )

Expected Output

is_numeric_dtype(np.bool)

False
