Sure, I can't take the NAZI test...

But this one works. Feh.

Modern, Cool Nerd 52 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 21% Dork

For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd. Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eeked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgeable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)! Congratulations!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 37% on nerdiness You scored higher than 70% on geekosity You scored higher than 15% on dork points

Amusingly enough, I scored higher as Geek than Nerd, but get graded as a nerd. Eh. As always, OKC tests range from ass to pointless, but it beats having to talk about my life (which is slowly going nuts).

Ah, well. Sunday night, it's over & i get dinner. Excellent.

So, how accurate is that? What's your Geek fodder?

I'd say pretty accurate. I read a ton of science fiction and science fact. I'm a Trekker, but not obnoxiously so. I've been to one convention and the Star Trek Experience in Vegas. I'd like to do more, but the wife hates all things SF. I'm mostly reading the sub-genre of military SF now days. Don't hunt, fish, or any of that "manly" stuff, but I'm no techno-guy either. Again, I'm satisfied with the test results.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEE-ERRRRRRRRRRDDDD!

So very very surprising. In the sense of not.

As Fry said when he found out Bender was the evil Bender - "I am shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked."

See my blog for my opinion of me being a nerd.
