Nerd, Geek, or Dork?

Here is a quiz that will tell you if you are a nerd, a geek or a dork -- by the way, it also tells you the definitions of those words, too.



Pure Nerd

91 % Nerd, 43% 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, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.



The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.



Congratulations!

I'm sick, my head hurts and I have a fever. That is why I did this, and why I got a lower score than anyone else who may compare themselves to me. Lynch made me do this. It' seems I'm a Modern, Cool Nerd, like that's news... Modern, Cool Nerd 78 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 43% Dork…
My previous claims of geekiness were in jest. And if that wasn't clear to you, do you understand anything? Anyway, I defined nerds as book smart, dweebs as socially awkward, and dorks as nerdy dweebs (or dweeby nerds). Geeks to me are sideshow acts (freaks) that bite the heads off of live chickens…

Makes sense given my profession, hobbies, and lifestyle: University Professor = Nerd
Writer of LOTR fanfiction = Geek
Clueless, fashionwise = Dork

BTW, Hedwig, how is the mouse-eradication campaign coming along? D-Con worked for us, although one bad aspect of poisoning mice is that you have no control over where they end up dying. I was smelling an odd odor one day when I picked up one of my daughter's dresses from the floor (she is not too good about hanging up her clothes) and found a dead mouse lying underneath it. I never told my daughter! This is a child who would sit on her haunches beside walls and address the mice within, warning them not to gnaw upon the little green cylinders. "You can touch them," she would solemnly instruct, "but don't eat them."

"The classic, "80's" nerd, you are what most people think of when they think "nerd," largely due to 80's movies like Revenge of the Nerds and TV shows like Head of the Class."

Damn, got me in one...

Although I'm not sure why it's suggesting I try lamb.

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 reaction? Um, that adds up to 138% ... these people are mathematically impaired ...

I don't think that it's percentage of you, rather it's how much of a dork,geek or nerd you are.

My scores:
Modern, Cool Nerd
73 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 39% Dork

I would say that my Geek score is a little low, but otherwise it sounds about right.
