Nerd? Geek? or Dork?

For myself:

Pure Nerd
52 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 47% Dork

Modern, Cool Nerd
65 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 34% Dork

:cool: :dang, we need a nerd smiley:

(Note question 38 about "themed decorations"...Disney was the first in the list of examples. Any bet what EVERYONE on this board answers to that?)

Modern, Cool Nerd
78 % Nerd, 73% Geek, 34% Dork

what a surprise.

Pure Nerd
73% Nerd, 43% Geek, 43% Dork.

Outcast Genius
82 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 56% Dork

Pure Nerd
56 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 30% Dork

Me=

Pure Nerd
52 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 43% Dork


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

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.

in other words.......


BORING!

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

Take heart, Capt Jack...

Joe Normal
43 % Nerd, 30% Geek, 13% Dork

Freaks.

Pure Geek
47 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 39% Dork

I don't know whether to be delighted, or insulted.... :rolleyes:

Im going with 35% delighted and only 16% insulted. :p

Modern, Cool Nerd
69 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 39% Dork

It looks like the nerds dominate 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.

Modern, Cool Nerd
56 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 43% Dork

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

Believe it or not, I'm normal.

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

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.

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

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

Pure nerd.
52 % Nerd, 17% Geek, 34% Dork

I'm less dorky than I would have thought.

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

My score on The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test:

**************************************

Computer Savant
(30 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 52% Dork)


:)

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... :)

No, no... To easy.... :evil: ;)

Modern, cool nerd. 65 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 39% Dork

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...

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

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.

:blush:

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.

For The Record:

Here's a video that goes well with this thread.

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

Outcast Genius
56 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 52% Dork

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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:

One more Weird Al thing before I start a new thread...
