I'm still proudly a pure nerd!
83 % Nerd, 30% Geek, 39% 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.

Congratulations!

Pure Dork

48 % Nerd, 35% Geek, 61% Dork

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 Dork, earning you the title of: Pure Dork. Like our friends Napoleon Dynamite & co.

It's not as though you were some whiz-kid in school. Oh, sure, you probably did okay in some classes, but were probably awful in others. Certainly most people thought you were smarter than you thought yourself to be. And it's not that you have some overriding passion, like computers or Star Trek that sets you apart for the crowd, though you likely share some interest in some of those sorts of things. You just like to be yourself, and want to express yourself for who you are.

And, really, there's nothing wrong with that. Being who you are often invites scorn, and so it's a difficult thing in a world that rewards conformity. Be proud of your dorkiness, for often it's just another word for individuality. (I'd vote for you!)

Congratulations!

Hmm. Thought I would've scored higher on the geekometer due to the whole videogames/high fantasy/Japanese popular culture deal. I guess not. Ah well.

Also, DC, I'm glad I don't have to be the only one with a substantial Dork score. Let's suffer in silence together, while fidgeting in mild discomfort and daydreaming of better things.

DC is a handsome dork.

Oh dear... according to this, when people see me all they envision is a giant pair of suspenders! E.g.:



Except more suspenders, less Urkel. Maybe both. This would explain things.

I guess that explains why everyone is always calling me a nerd...
