Rainy Saturday Quiz for the Home Team
|
Modern, Cool Nerd 86 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 47% 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 |

Yeah, but what about your percentages? I am in the 99th percentile. :P
Posted by: binky at September 23, 2006 04:05 PM | PERMALINKI'm exactly the same: 99th all the way across the board. I think that means that there are not very many 35+ year old people who take a silly internet quiz.
