Subject: Are you a nerd, dork, or geek (split topic)

Written By: Tia on 12/05/05 at 2:50 pm


I think that once I entered college, it was the "land of maturity." Even before then, in my senior year of High school, I used my techniques for ignoring ppl who called me names (especially that of a kid who I knew in junior high and 9th grade---maybe they thought I behaved similar to him, but my behaviour was totally different from his).


i dealt with it by not being such a dork. lol. now that I'm a grownup I don't have to worry about it as much and can now safely be a dork again. which is nice.

Yes I know what geeks and nerds are. I've seen 'em recently on "Saved By The Bell" reruns.

i tend to use geek, nerd and dork interchangeably. And as compliments, typically.

Here's how I define:

Geeks are either very into computers, video games or some sort of Role-Playing Game.. anything with a very cult-following that isn't a sport or anything that involves much moving.

Nerds are the types that study all the time, do well in school, and lack much of a social life. Geeks at least have other geeks.

Dorks are simply anyone who is awkward socially or physically. Often, a geek or a nerd can also be a dork. Some can be all three, if you're a very social nerd.

Joe Normal
21 % Nerd, 30% Geek, 39% 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 less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal.

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.

Congratulations!

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 all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.

Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).

Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.


hmmm... Genuis... seems a bit over the top.  I guess "can be lonely" gives you that out, if you aren't lonely.  I'm married, so I'm never lonely. 

You scored higher than 67% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 96% on geekosity
You scored higher than 96% on dork points


yesh... I aced that test I guess... not very nerdy compared to the others though.  One of the questions dealt with reading fan fiction.  If I didn't run amiright, I probably wouldn't read as much of it.

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!)

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.

It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.

Which, you are.

Congratulations! You're the one on the RIGHT!

Actually, that's not too far off from what I would've said about myself, LOL. I'm a geek in the sense that I tend to remember/am very fond of things such as biographical information about people (especially celebrities I like), dates or exact quotes, movie lines, etc.

Oh, and yes I read and write fanfiction. ;)

I'm thinking (since he said "movie series") that it's the Friday the 13th series ;D


You're right, I didn't spot that he said movie series.  It could be Friday the 13th then.

I got Joe Normal, and didn't score over 16% in any of the three fields.

I kinda expected it  :P

I'm a modern cool nerd! all this time i was sexy and i didn't even know it!

(i'm not sure it's really a good thing to be scoring so high in all three categories but i'll just go with the interpretation the computer gave me...)

***

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 Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
 
You scored higher than 72% on nerdiness
 
You scored higher than 80% on geekosity
 
You scored higher than 78% on dork points

Well, you would probably get the average joe rating(although that's just speculation on my part).

I took a test once on some  website,  and I'm 'officially'.  'hip-nerdy'  Nerdy enough to have a brain , but with a much better social life. I think I was 45% nerd, 23% geek, and the remainder was dork. I like to think of myself as the 'dork pin-up  queen' Thank you very much! 
YOU also may find out if you are a Nerd, Dork or Geek..  Just  take this handy,dandy test and soon you will find out where you  fit in , in the land of the social misfits. http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9935030990046738815

I've watched wrestling on occasion, but it's been awhile since I have(it's really the only thing in that category that I've enjoyed, since all other sports bore me to the point that I hear crickets chirping).
