Nerd, Geek or Dork?

Some folks at work were taking this test to see if they were a Nerd, Geek or Dork. Try the test yourself and let me know your scores by entering them in the comments section. Here's my results:

Pure Nerd
56 % Nerd, 21% Geek, 26% 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 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!

My test tracked 3 variables how you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 47% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 19% on geekosity
You scored higher than 38% on dork points


Don't forget to try the test yourself and let me know your results.
