I stand corrected. 17. There was one I thought I recognized, but realized I don't. So that's 8 I enjoy, 1 I recognize, and one I don't. Wow.

Given how TV oriented that was, I only scored a 10. I'm thinking Not Afraid is going to score even lower than that. And yet, could she truly not be a nerd?

CoasterMatt

06-29-2006, 04:58 PM

I scored 13...

but I'm a specialized ultra nerd - I got more than 20 email messages asking if I heard about a kid dying at RnRC today...

I only got 12. But I'm not sure why liking MST3K makes you a nerd. In my experience it probably makes you annoying (not because the shows are annoying but because people came to think that them doing the same thing is inherently funny).

Besides, not enough points are given for where my nerdiness and it intersect. Not only do I "enjoy" Quantum Leap but I remember who played god (that is, Al the bartender, as played by Bruce McGill) in the final episode and can launch into a compare and contrast discourse of that actor's character (Jack Dalton) on Macguyver while discounting both of his single-episode appearance on Star Trek Voyager and Babylon 5. Surely that i worth more than 2 points.

13. I didn't recognize 1, 4, or 5, but of the ones I did recognize I enjoyed all but one.

So who's the lightning guy (and I don't enjoy Magic)?

Gemini Cricket

06-29-2006, 06:01 PM

9.

The lightning guy is Electro from Spiderman. :)

Ghoulish Delight

06-29-2006, 06:06 PM

Aha, I knew it was from Spiderman. Looked too much like the Green Goblin, style-wise, to not be. I just didn't know the character. Do I at least get half a point for that? (wait, what am I arguing for here?)

Prudence

12. And I'd like to mention that I've been to two Weird Al concerts, including one where I was in the forth row back at a venue in Bellingham, the name of which escapes me, but in which there was no huge gap between the front row and stage, and during which I caught the plastic cup tossed into the audience after gargling during Smells Like Nirvana, which my mother threw away when helping me move because clearly a plastic cup in a place of prominence on someones display shelf must be random garbage to be thrown away without asking.

Not that I'm bitter.

tracilicious

06-29-2006, 06:45 PM

I got 13.

8 and they consider this normal? :eek:

innerSpaceman

06-29-2006, 07:44 PM

Hahahah, I scored only a three. Apparently, I live in a box.

Too bad that I'm actually a mega-nerd, but this lame quiz focused on tv and comics. Hardly the only nerdliness out there. Sheesh, my Disneygeekdom alone catapults me to the top of the nerdosphere, to say nothing of my Star Trek, Star Wars, Monty Python, and Beatles fandoms. Lordy, this quiz was way, way off.

Lol! I got a twelve, but I suspect my nerd-factor would have been much higher if the quiz included iSm's criteria. I think Eric would score much higher than me on this one.

CoasterMatt

06-29-2006, 10:03 PM

I think iSm would detonate the Nerd-O-Meter...

Just so a geek like me could rebuild it :D

06-29-2006, 11:25 PM

This is definitely a biased quiz, but I got a 13, so I'm not complaining too loudly. Just nerdy enough to be cool, and just cool enough to be nerdy. At least, so far as I figure.

I only got a 9...but I would consider that good considering most of those shows were off the air before I was born.

I like this test much better: http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nq.php

Overall, you scored as follows:
5% scored higher (more nerdy), and
95% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!!

CoasterMatt

06-30-2006, 06:18 AM

Overall, you scored as follows:

16% scored higher (more nerdy), and

High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!.

innerSpaceman

Nope, I'm not a nerd on the sciencegeek test either.

What am I doing here??

Stan4dSteph

06-30-2006, 08:02 AM

44% scored higher (more nerdy), and
56% scored lower (less nerdy).

Your nerdiness is:

Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.

I'd be worse off if they showed anything else BUT Tribbles.

Anyone who scored high on the original quiz really should be watching Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim. Never fails to crack me up.

Not Afraid

Second quiz:
71% scored higher (more nerdy), and
29% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

Scariest part......I have the exact same score on the second test as NA.

Ooh, GD and Uber had the exact same score! I think we need a geek-off :evil:

I stopped halfway through DF's nerd test because I knew I couldn't measure up. Freakin' nerds! :p

tracilicious

06-30-2006, 12:41 PM

I only got slightly nerdy on the second test, but I probably should have gotten extra points for the canned air question. I would have used it at the beginning of a hardcore run on a stat day to speed up level gains.

I prefer geek, really.

tracilicious

06-30-2006, 12:53 PM

I like the geek quiz (http://www.thudfactor.com/geekquiz.php)

Final Score:
You are 42% geekhttp://images.thudfactor.com/images/geekquiz/girl_25x50.jpg You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.

You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!

Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!

You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Not Afraid

06-30-2006, 01:04 PM

Final Score:

You are 25% geek
OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you.

At least I show interest with this one rather than living in a box.

And in round 2:

83% scored higher (more nerdy), and
17% scored lower (less nerdy).

Not nerdy, but then again maybe not all that cool either.

Well, that was an enlightening few minutes, I suppose. :)

First quiz, I got 6 correct.

Next,

82% scored higher (more nerdy), and
18% scored lower (less nerdy).

Not nerdy, but then again maybe not all that cool either.

And finally, I'm apparently 28% geek

Gemini Cricket

Mid-Level Nerd. Wow, it takes a lot of hard nerdy practice to reach this level.

Man, only a mid-level nerd. I'm disappointed in myself.

You are a geek. Good for you! Considering the endless complexity of the universe, as well as whatever discipline you happen to be most interested in, you'll never be bored as long as you have a good book store, a net connection, and thousands of dollars worth of expensive equipment. Assuming you're a technical geek, you'll be able to afford it, too. If you're not a technical geek, you're geek enough to mate with a technical geek and thereby get the needed dough. Dating tip: Don't date a geek of the same persuasion as you. You'll constantly try to out-geek the other.

On the 2nd test:

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

On the Geek test:

You are 13% geek (I didn't post the picture of Ahhhnold that want with the score because I just couldn't to that to people I like.)
