nerd?

I am nerdier than 20% of all people. Are you nerdier? Click here to find out!

"Overall, you scored as follows: 80% scored higher (more nerdy), and 20% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:Not nerdy, but definitely not hip."

not hip, eh? didn't need a quiz to tell me that. according to this i'm not quite so nerdy as i thought, but the quiz leaves a few things out. for one thing it says nothing about what kind of nerd you are, it just assumes you're a computer nerd or you aren't a nerd at all. what constitutes 'nerd'?

not that i'm complaining about not being very nerdy - don't get me wrong. but i work with a whole call center full of travel nerds who would've scored much lower than i did on this quiz. does this amount to nerdism? if you have recently been on a date, haven't built a computer or don't have bad hygene you're not a nerd? what about some musicians i know? they'd fall under the catagory of social akwardness so often associated with nerds, but some of them don't even have internet access. what about poets? they can be really nerdy.

or am i mixing up dorky with nerdy? i don't know. i'm going to bed now.

Hey! I'm lightly nerdy. Score of 50 ;-)

Thought I was more nerdy than that, really...

37, it was the lack of biohazard signs in my room that held me back. darn, why won't Jim let me hang those up! (spoken in a fairly accurate Napoleon Dynamite voice)
