What's YOUR nerd score? Take the test
Edited on Sat Apr-30-05 11:54 PM by SoCalDem
click here



Overall, I scored as follows:



59% scored higher (more nerdy), and
41% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.

6. Mid-level nerd.
21% scored higher (more nerdy), and
79% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Mid-Level Nerd. Wow, it takes a lot of hard nerdy practice to reach this level.

I do my best. What's my favorite line?- "I don't f*cking fit. I'm a nerd trapped in the body of a cheerleader (well, an old one anyway these days:P)" The cheerleaders hate me and the nerd girls hate me even more.

40. LOWER. Much, much lower!
Edited on Sun May-01-05 01:23 AM by dicksteele
I'm just a toothless hillbilly from Polecat Hollow who never had me no College-Learnin'...

That score doesn't speak well of me; rather, it speaks ILL of the average American!

I know how much RAM my computer has, and I can name HALF of the elements...so now I'm 70% NERD?

That's just WRONG!

You wanna talk NERDS?
My SO got her first degree from SWARTHMORE,
and I've met alot of her Alums...those are some NERDS right there!

I'm not sure I even share 70% of my DNA with those folks!

That poll needed some CONTROL questions...a few queries about "eating roadkill" or "squirrel recipes" would have brought my score WAAAY down!

17. this poll judges nerdiness according to scientific knowledge
and what one knows about computers. It spares the humanities nerds.

questions I would have been much more nerdy.

But I don't care. The important thing is that after 8 years of grad school, that's the first time I was asked my level of education and got to click Ph.D. Woohoo!

47. only 68%, oh the mortification, the shame
unfair, there were no chess questions, plus I cannot afford laser printers (okay I really have very little use for one) or faster computers, and what kind of a nerd builds things? That's a tech person or an engineer.
And what about glasses? Shouldn't I get some credit for imperfect vision?
Plus, I have clearly been out of school too long.
Tanj, I am a mediocre nerd.
I didn't even get any points for celibacy. Everybody knows the defining characteristic of a nerd is that he. can't. get. laid.
The whole test is out of order.
