Title: Nerd, Geek or Dork Test
Post by: Geekyfanboy on March 20, 2009, 02:38:45 PM
http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/the-nerd-geek-or-dork-test (http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/the-nerd-geek-or-dork-test)

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

Pure Geek

35 % Nerd, 78% Geek, 35% 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 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.

Compared to other takers

    * 16/100 You scored 35% on nerdiness, higher than 16% of your peers.
    * 97/100 You scored 78% on geekosity, higher than 97% of your peers.
    * 54/100 You scored 35% on dork points, higher than 54% of your peers.

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test ...
Outcast Genius

65 % Nerd, 70% Geek, 52% Dork

Outcast Genius
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 not 100% sure I like this....

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, knowledgeable 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)!

High geek/nerd I can live with.  I'm glad the dork was low.  If they'd all been high, that'd be scary.

Pure Nerd
52 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 26% 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.

Seven questions about books, only one about computer, none about the internet? In a nerd/geek/dork test? :o
Must still be the 80s.   ::)

I wouldn't give too much about this questionnaire. The attribution of types and their description seems weak, the questions don't cover enough areas (computer games/ RPG/ renaissance fairs/ collections/programming language/ fan-related creativity in a broader sense/...). I'd really like to see some of the underlying assumptions. (I'm a social scientist, I'm somewhat obliged to be critical...)

Trust me: no one on this forum should be classified a "Joe Normal". ;)
(Any objections?)

So apparently I'm very much geek, but still nerd and dorkish.
