Funny, I totally hadn't noticed that this quiz is hosted on a dating site. :D

Easy! "Look, I'm a nerd - of course I'm browsing stupid websites for the stupidest things just for the sake of itself! What did you expect?"

My GF is asleep next to me... if she'd have woken up and seen me on OkCupid at 1am doing a quiz, I'd have had some explaining to do... ;P

Modern, Cool Nerd

87 % Nerd, 52% 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)!

Congratulations!


Yay!

Hey, posting here increases your scores in each one of those by at least 2-5%. ;)

It's funny that the test is still online, so it's time for some serious grave digging:

Hey, I'm a pure Geek! 43 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 39% Dork

Quote:

It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.

Which, you are.

Congratulations! You're the one on the RIGHT!

Quite charming, isn't it? ^^

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test by donathos ...
Pure Nerd

65 % Nerd, 35% Geek, 17% 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, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!

In that case, I'll have to post (as guest) in site issues, seeing that there is a bug in the forum software. :P

Hi Archie! As you can see, we're all pretty nerdy here, so it looks as if you fit in well.

Breaker: Consider yourself banned for being 'normal' ;)

Joe Normal
39 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 26% Dork
For The Record:

This is not to say that you don't have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you--we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast.

I don't get it. I thought I'd be way geekier.
