Modern, Cool Nerd 60 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 34% 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! (If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback!

Nice score. I got "pure nerd;" apparently being a policy/economics wonk doesn't count as geekiness.

I got:

Pure Nerd 73 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 39% Dork

How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 81% on nerdiness You scored higher than 52% on geekosity You scored higher than 69% on dork points

Consider me slightly miffed: I try to cultivate catholic interests, and had high hopes of being demed deemed a geek.

Woo hoo, we're cool nerds. Whatever that means. :~)

Woohoo, I got 100% Nerd. That's really, really nerdy. But to be honest the way it's defining nerd does sound quite a lot like a description of me. It says I'm "Tri lamb material", whatever the hell that means (some American society for super-brainy people?)

I think the way the test is structured, but not the definition so much, is assuming that geek = media fandom geek. I'm clearly a geek in that I'm extremely knowledgeable about my own speciality, but I got a very low score on geek because I'm not obsessive about shows, actors or the like. Medium dorky sounds about right, by their definition of dork.

It's a reference to this, which I've never seen. I don't know if it exists in real life.
