Modern, Cool Nerd 73 % Nerd, 69% 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! THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

Like several of us, I am the






I did think I slanted some answers to the geekier side of things.

Notice particularly that, although I am not all that dorky, I did score in the 85th percentile for females for dorkiness.

Yeah, I wouldn't rank you super high on the dorktastic meter. While nobody in my circle trips the Napoleon Dynamite siren, I certainly have dorkier friends than you. Heck, in some respects, I have dorkier *relatives* than you. While I am less dorky than you are, I note with some enthusiasm that I'm also nerdier and geekier. I think that the fact that I'm pleased about being nerdier and geekier than other people says quite a lot about the sort of person that I am.
