A 'Cool, Modern Nerd' Am I.....


Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd


56 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 30% 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!

Did you notice though that those percentages are well beyond a 100% total if you add them up?

It's this 'new math' they taught us, isn't it?

yes, I did notice that. Pretty funny, actually. Evidently only the 'nerds' are qualified to pick up on this though....heh heh.

Darn you and your tests! Check mine out... I just wonder what the other 28% of me is!

I question having "cool" in the same title as "nerd".... heehee

I did not notice the math thing. WOW. You two really are nerds. ;)
