As for question 38, for me, it ain't Disney hanging on my walls, it is movie related though

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I'm a pure nerd. Very high nerdocity (in the seventies), lowish geek range and dorkwattage.

And as for *my* #38... I do have three Peter Pan items on my desk shelf. Our interests are too broad to have a house full of one sort of thing, though.

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 less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal.

This is not to say that you don't have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you--we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast.

I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal.

Congratulations!


in other words.......


BORING!

not to mention how truly odd it is to be 'Joe Normal' and part of the minority (referring to here)

I came in at 60, 30, 30. Since if it were up to me there'd be no visible Disney stuff in the house, I imagine that first 30 would be lower if I were single.

See! Kevy Baby and I are NOT the same person :D

[Not Afraid]

Believe it or not, I'm normal.

[€uroMeinke]

I'm normal too -and apparently signed up for some online dating site :rolleyes:

[Matterhorn Fan]

I'm trying to figure out what makes GD, mousepod, tracilicious, and CoasterMatt more modern and cool than DreadPirate, Prudence, Snowflake, LSPE, Steph, and myself.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

You gave them your real name and email address? :eek:

The € symbol seemed unsupported and a hindrance to aquiring my test results

I'm less dorky than I would have thought.

I prefer to think of my nerdiness as unadulterated by the whims of contemporary fads.

[innerSpaceman]

As I expected, pure Geek.

Hmm, though 47% nerd, which is completely incorrect. I am not passionate about learning or academia. I just happen to be very intelligent, and I'm lukewarm about it ... it just is. I do not pursue academic education. The test got this part wrong.

However, this blurb was precisely on the money:

"It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.

Which, you are."

I'm wondering if anyone's going to get "Outdated, Cool Nerd"

Haha, I was wondering that myself... :)

I've been out of school for a while so my answers to the learning related ones surprised me a bit. I forgot what a nerd I am, er, used to be.

But do you know where your library card is?

Well, I don't think you have to be in school to have a love of learning. I always knew you were a nerd, anyway. I would be shocked if so many of us *didn't* fall under nerd, given the things we talk about and love on LoT.

I was a little surprised that I didn't get more under "geek" because I geek out about a lot of things... Maybe I'm just a nonchalant geek? Hmmm...

[CoasterMatt]

I think my 65% geek rating is WAAAY low... I decorate my computer room with ROLLERCOASTER PARTS!

[tracilicious]

Me too. I feel like I'm way more geek than nerd. I learn all the time, and I love learning, but it just happens, it isn't usually something I have to seek out. And it's not like I color code my notes or anything.

[Prudence]

And it's not like I color code my notes or anything.

:blush:

[flippyshark]

This can't be right. I came out as OUTCAST GENIUS, 99% nerd, 99% geek and 99% dork. !?!?

I'll have to try again later, as I find that outcome a little hard to buy.

Here's a video (http://albinoblacksheep.com/video/whitenerdy) that goes well with this thread.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Dude! Love that song/video! It had everything in it! Weird Al is still awesome. :D

(That's good...right?:D )

[Kevy Baby]

Here's a video (http://albinoblacksheep.com/video/whitenerdy) that goes well with this thread.I'm a little miffed by that video. In it he says that he was "first in [his] class at MIT."

Weird Al is a graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (which happens to be my alma mater). He recorded his first hit, "Another One Rides the Bus" in the men's room in the Graphic Communications Bldg. (it is right across from the campus radio station, KCPR). He used the bathroom for the better acoustics (free reverb).

Uh oh... did my geek quotient go up because I knew that?

[wendybeth]

Yes. Or maybe your dork quotient.;):p

[CoasterMatt]

Does my geek quotient go up because I'm friends with Weird Al's Cal Poly roommate?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Cal Poly is nowhere NEAR as nerdy a reference as MIT.

Besides, the song is not about him, it's a character.

[RStar]

Dude! Love that song/video! It had everything in it! Weird Al is still awesome. :D
That's cool! I'm a fan of Al myself!

His new album is just comming out "Straight Outta Lynwood".

This is a song from that album, called "Don't Download This Song" which you can, of course, download from his website!;)

Geeksville all the way, man!:snap:

[mistyisjafo]

I'm a Geek!

Which I already knew.

Plus apparently I'm also like Cordilia Chase from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

FUN!

[Kevy Baby]

Modern, Cool NerdI acually would have guessed that about you
