OKCupid! The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test
Yes, these tests are usually lame. This one was pretty on the level though. This came up on Modern Vespa, in a thread on the link between nerds and scooters. I had to keep from laughing as thoughts of how other people I know would answer.
OK, so maybe the Dragon is biased, because he scored:
Modern, Cool Nerd
95 % Nerd, 73% Geek, 47% 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)!
But you knew that already didn't you!
