| Modern, Cool Nerd 60 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 8% 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! Thanks Again! — THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST |

oh geez. you know i’m a sucker for this shit. and just like i thought: bigtime nerd, negligible geek, which explains why i always consult you first on any technical endeavor…a little bit unsettling: i scored much higher than i thought in the dorkiness quotient. come to think of it, that may explain a few things….
How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 86% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 7% on geekosity
You scored higher than 27% on dork points
yeah, but what’s your full geek/nerd/dork percentage? the stuff at the top?

However, the fact that I tried to take a screen shot of the results might bump up my numbers some. Geek should always be prefaced with a qualifier, such as music geek, scooter geek, or, and I’m not naming any names here, basketball geek.
