???  Joe Normal  ???

 

21 % Nerd, 4% Geek, 43% 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 less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal.

 

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'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal.

 

Congratulations!

I am

78 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 52% Dork

 

 

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!

Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd

95 % Nerd, 91% Geek, 43% 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!

wtf? Give me a break. I know I'm not that bad! I think the test simply isn't believing that I'm as average as I say I am, or something.

 

OK, I just noticed that I'm the third person in a row that received the exact same rating in all three categories. What are the odds of that happening? I think the test is broke.

The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test

You may be trying to use an old session, or something may have happened on the server. Either way, you'll have to start over. Sorry. (If you're trying to break our site, congratulations, you found a bug. Maybe.)

 

The server was busy ;) (certain sign-up bug?;))Well anyway 'Titicaca ' is not a valid city/location as I noticed :P. Now I have two slightly different accounts there.(one works with  no e-mail confirmation, still I can log on to it, but I never saw the test results).

 

There has to be words to indicate this three and almost four middle stages of geekness, here some suggestions:

 

| > googeek (googlier aka 'googie'): geekus dorkinis

| > wikgeek (wikkipedier aka 'wikkie') : nerdus  dorkinis

| > geecker: geekus nerdee {related to computing/internet's bigbang era wisdom}

| > neecker: geekee nerdus aka (+geek)

    {related to computing&internet's bigbang era wisdom, plus specific subject(s)/topics(s) erudition(s)}

 

The third but also the first are somehow describing my 'geekness'.-  :p (but I do 'fast' searches using other engines too)  :)

IE's been failing me more than once lately.

 

I love that picture. Ha ha ha ha ha good luck using that old 5 1/4 disk with a modern laptop. Even 3 1/2 disks don't work unless you have an external drive. I liked using diskettes but so few people use them now that I have had to adapt with changing times. I use CD-RWs now.
