17 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 21% Dork = Pure Geek

 

"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 Geek, earning you the title of: Pure Geek.

 

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."

Congratulations! You're the one on the RIGHT!

 

 

Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in any of the following:

 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

 

Professional Wrestling

 

Love & Sexuality

 

America/Politics

 

Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

 

My 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

 

 

 

Okay, first of all the reason I posted the whole thing is becuase of that picture. Now if I'm so hip to go to conventions with other wierdos, wouldn't that mean that i'd be the storm trooper, not the pretty girl?

 

Also, I feel pretty good about owning 99% of all 26 year old guys in all categories :) Just like in real life :)

Outcast Genius

69 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 56% 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 all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.

 

Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).

 

Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.

 

Congratulations!

I'm a pure dork. 34 % Nerd, 34% Geek, 52% 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 Dork, earning you the title of: Pure Dork. Like our friends Napoleon Dynamite & co.

 

It's not as though you were some whiz-kid in school. Oh, sure, you probably did okay in some classes, but were probably awful in others. Certainly most people thought you were smarter than you thought yourself to be. And it's not that you have some overriding passion, like computers or Star Trek that sets you apart for the crowd, though you likely share some interest in some of those sorts of things. You just like to be yourself, and want to express yourself for who you are.

 

And, really, there's nothing wrong with that. Being who you are often invites scorn, and so it's a difficult thing in a world that rewards conformity. Be proud of your dorkiness, for often it's just another word for individuality. (I'd vote for you!)

 

(It almost sounds as if it's a good thing.)

Pure Nerd

60 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 21% Dork

 

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.

Doesn't sound too bad... does it?... "Socially crippling"? :-/

Computer Savant

43 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 69% Dork

For The Record:

 

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

People confuse you with a Nerd all of the time. You aren't some genius, like some people have said, and didn't/don't really like school all that much (and you especially hated some of the social aspects, like getting mocked). It's just that you have some passions and interests that you're extremely into/good at, and this has placed you in circles with other social outcasts, some of whom are exceptionally bright.

 

The awesome thing about being where you are is that you get to hang out with an elite group (though you'd probably rather be alone, or with only the closest friends and family) and you can make quite a good career for yourself in your particular specialities. Common to this group are people who are highly into electronics/computers as that is where the money lies, today.

 

Congratulations!

 

Bang on right - I'm in Electronics - and a rather specialist branch at that.
