I am a Nerd

There has been much debate over at Ren's as to one's geekiness, nerdiness, dorkiness. So I had to see what I am. I am a Modern, Cool Nerd. Thank you to the fine folk at okcupid for the test. In case you are curious, here are my results:

And here is the link to the test for the other gnorks out there who want to try.

Modern, Cool Nerd 60 % Nerd, 60% 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 eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable 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 51% on nerdiness You scored higher than 89% on geekosity You scored higher than 28% on dork points
