Now I am learning about scary.


Only 30%. Ouch. Everyone who knows me probably thinks I'm a geek, so how can they all be so wrong?

They make a test for that you know... "The Nerd, Geek, or Dork Test" http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9935030990046738815

My results:
Quote:

Modern, Cool Nerd
56 % Nerd, 78% 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)!



Edit 4/20/07: omg, *test*, not quest! They make a test for that! Sheesh.

...Do I get extra Geek points because World of Warcraft has warped my brain to the point that I type "quest" when I mean "test"?

Well, 30% is still more than 0%, but thanks for the offer. I was reading those definitions above, though, and I think the other 70% is divided between nerd and dork, so maybe you don't want me on your team!

You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.


47% on the first one; 7.something% on the one PR mentioned. I think it's only because I knew a little about Drizzt and Hitchhiker's Guide; that stuff about armor class and "which gun are you buying" and Star Wars lost me.

Oh, and I'm a Pure Nerd according to the OKCupid! test (69% Nerd, 39% Geek, 39% Dork).

Which is what I really don't understand about all the 'geek tests' that ask about academia, and the 'nerd test' that asked obcure trivia


Also, to my not-very-great shock, I got:
Pure Geek
30 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 25% Dork

I agree with everything except the 'you consider yourself to be fairly normal' statement.

However, I also got this message at the bottom:
test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 99% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 99% on geekosity
You scored higher than 99% on dork points

How does that work?


Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I came in at 63% Geek, which surprised me since I consider myself a Computer Illiterate. I'm guessing it was all my geeky interests that brought my score up. If they knew about the fossil collection, the Serenity Prop collection.....

wow, I scored 44%. Thought I was more geekish.
Chose pi 3.141592653539798, even though I expect 42 is more geek-y. Just like pi more is all.

29% geek! lol I thought I would be higher but to be honest I really hate all kinds of stereotyping. I just went on there to see the Firefly question.

Apparently I'm only 57%... I failed at the more geeky stuff but at least I knew the TV/literature ones. :p And yes, I've been playing videogames for a long time. I even played with my dad's Spectrum when I was a kid.

I love my captain


Okay I took all the tests mentioned on here (and what does that say about me as a geek/nerd?) and here are my results.

Thread Test: 60% geek
Pretty good I think since I'm not much into the tech stuff.

Test Two: 38.2643%, Major Geek

PRs Test: 57.142857142857146%, Dangerously Nerdy...no, make that "dangeresque"

Nerd/Geek/Dork Test: Modern/Cool Nerd


I think more of these tests should have Firefly/Serenity references. I certainly would have like Mal to be in that "You Want" list. I'm not at all interested in Mulder or Captain Picard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.
Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.
