How Nerdy/Geeky/Dorky Am I?

Now normally I don't take these kinds of tests, but then I did use the word "normally" back there.

:)
Pure Nerd
69 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 13% 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.

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!

THE "NERD? GEEK? OR DORK?" TEST

So there, am an official NERD now.

  2. Although I agree with your statement for the most part, socially the word 'nerd' still carries that negative connotation and the automatic correlation to the word 'dork'. Is it true? Who knows ...
