I am a nerd

I took a test today on the internet, which are so indeniably rigourous I know, and it says that I am,"Pure Nerd." The exact breakdown is this: 56 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 17% Dork


According to the website: 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; and A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.


I really thought I would have scored higher on the dork scale!

Well, Mark insists that the whole dork measure is way off base (though nerd and geek seem sounder measures). I am so pleased that we are both "Pure Nerd"! However, I must point out that I am nerdier than you are, at 69%. You are geekier, but I am dorkier--apparently. Humph.

Do you have a link to the test? I'd love to take it.

/wonders if you can score > 100% in more than one area

Anonymous-- I posted the link to the test on my blog (there's a link to my blog from Melissa's page, "Super Sarah").

Do take it--you won't be sorry. You learn ever so much about yourself.

Again, I shouldn't protest -- just because I got a high dork rating. I'm a dork, pure and simple. I out-dork you all!
