Nerd, Geek or Dork?

with 2 comments

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test…

Modern, Cool Nerd

65% Nerd, 61% 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!

  1. By those definitions, I’m all three but I like to think of myself as a descendant of Niels Bohr who won the Nobel Prize for Physics and played on the dominant Danish football team, AB, or his brother Harald, a famous mathematician who silvered in the Olympics.
