[align=center] Pure Nerd 91 % Nerd, 13% Geek, 26% Dork[/align] 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! My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 98% on nerdiness You scored higher than 6% on geekosity You scored higher than 37% on dork points |

[align=center] Joe Normal 43 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 43% Dork[/align] 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. Hmm... that seemed like a very well-designed test, but many of the questions still didn't have a right answer for me. NS has me wanting everything to have a Dismiss option, you know.... You scored higher than 41% on nerdiness You scored higher than 60% on geekosity You scored higher than 70% on dork points |

[align=center] Outcast Genius 52 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 56% Dork[/align] 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! |

Pure Dork 30 % Nerd, 21% 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 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!) Congratulations! |

Just as I suspected... [dohtml] <table width=950 align=center> <tr> <td valign=top> <br> <div id=scorepage> <table align=center cellpadding=20> <tr> <td align=center> <font size=5><b>Joe Normal</b></font><br> 43 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 13% Dork </td> </tr> <tr> <td> For The Record:<br><br> A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.<br> A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.<br> A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.<br> You scored less than half in all three, earning you the title of: <b>Joe Normal</b>. <br><br> 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 <i>Star Trek</i> 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. <br><br> I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal. <tr> <td align=center> <img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/users/104/656/10465692962375378952/mt1124997253.jpg" /> </table> [/dohtml] |
