Are you a nerd, a geek or a dork?

Someone posted this quiz on another forum that I belong to (a non book-related forum), and I was very embarrassed about my results, as just about everyone else came out as 'Joe Normal'.

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9935030990046738815

Here were my results:

Tri-Lamb Material
91 % Nerd, 8% 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 Nerd and Dork, earning you the coveted title of: Tri-Lamb Material.

The classic, "80's" nerd, you are what most people think of when they think "nerd," largely due to 80's movies like Revenge of the Nerds and TV shows like Head of the Class. You're exceptionally bright and smart, and partly because of that have never quite fit in with your peers or social groups. Perhaps you've realized, or will someday, that it is possible to retain all of the things that you like about being brilliant and still make peace with the social cliques around you. Or maybe you won't--it's really not necessary. As the brothers of Lambda Lambda Lambda discovered, you're fine just the way you are and can take pride in that. I mean, who wants to be like Ogre, right!?

Maybe I'm really just looking for reassurance, as since I've been with TBF I've started to feel quite 'normal' :D

Do have a go, and share your results!
 
I scored "Pure Nerd"

Pure Nerd
60 % Nerd, 34% Geek, 30% 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, 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!

im mildly surprised i didn't score a bit higher in the "geek" department though haha...probably because i answered "no" to "have you ever been to a fan convention?" :p

anyway, fun test! and meticulously put together, as far as online quizzes go - thanks for sharing!
 
Pure Nerd
73 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 26% Dork

How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 86% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 70% on geekosity
You scored higher than 34% on dork points
 
Pure Nerd
73 % Nerd, 30% Geek, 21% Dork

However, I maintain that I'm perfectly normal, and I resent that title with ferocious intensity. Besides, I bake. They didn't ask that question, did they?

69 % Nerd, 34% Geek, 13% Dork

I don't agree with their definitions of 'geek' and 'nerd', personally. I reckon they're reversed, but that's just me I guess!!

Joe Normal
47 % Nerd, 34% Geek, 30% Dork

"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 Star Trek 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.

I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. :) In any event, fairly normal. "

I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing on this site to be Joe Normal though...;)
 
Yup, I'll join the growing club: Pure Nerd, just as I thought. :D
86 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 43% Dork

Edit: and I also took the Buffy test. Apparently, I'm Glorificus. 90% amorality, 72% passion, 54% spirituality, 36% selflessness. Good to know *ahem* :rolleyes:

That's called pure nerd, but I defy those results, in that I am ACTUALLY joe normal, 100%.:cool:

That test is pure BULL. I KNOW I'm not a nerd. At least, nobody in the chess club thinks I am. Excuse me, I have to get the ink stain out of my pocket that my pen made, when I forgot my pocket protector. It's gonna be hard though without my glasses - the band aid holding the frames together finally tore.
 
Thanks guys. You've made me feel almost normal again! Although I can't help but notice, that I still haven't found anyone who can compete with my whacking 91% nerdiness :eek:
