The last question on the test was all that was required: “What do you consider yourself to be?”
Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test…
Pure Nerd
74 % Nerd, 22% Geek, 26% 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 tendencies 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!
Now, how I can have more dorkiness than geekiness in me escapes me!
I first saw this test a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for fillers for the blog, but decided against doing it. In the last few days, though, my brother started a chain of these in my blogosphere corner, and I felt like following suit.
Maybe it’s you refusal to drink anything heavier than wine at parties 🙂
That, brother, is sophistication, not dorkiness. 😉
My result:
Modern, Cool Nerd
83 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 35% Dork
I’ll take that as a kind of compliment, I guess. I’m also thinking that my taking it at as a compliment probably validates the result…
You seem to be more balanced, Brian. 😉
