Modern, Cool Nerd
74 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 48% Dork
Modern, Cool Nerd
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)!

Guess that means you need to change geek to nerd in your blog title bar. :)
@Heimdall
Someone would have said it sooner or later. I'm glad it was you.
@Tammy
No big surprise there. You never were very nerdy and you never seemed to have problems in social settings.
@Karen
True, true. But I'm comfortable with the self-labeling. Besides, you've never heard me geek out on comics with Jon. You may reconsider if you're ever unfortunate to be present for one of those conversations.
