My Nerdiness Rating

Tri-Lamb Material 73 % Nerd, 21% Geek, 52% 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 better than half in Nerd and Dork, earning you the coveted title of: Tri-Lamb Material. The classic, "80's" nerd, you are what most people think of when they think "nerd," largely due to 80's movies like Revenge of the Nerds and TV shows like Head of the Class. You're exceptionally bright and smart, and partly because of that have never quite fit in with your peers or social groups. Perhaps you've realized, or will someday, that it is possible to retain all of the things that you like about being brilliant and still make peace with the social cliques around you. Or maybe you won't--it's really not necessary. As the brothers of Lambda Lambda Lambda discovered, you're fine just the way you are and can take pride in that. I mean, who wants to be like Ogre, right!? Congratulations! THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

I'd say the most annoying thing about tests like this is trying to discretize continuous values onto a low-res set of options. Even just slightly higher resolution would be good. There were several where I fell directly in the middle.

As to the results... I've considered myself a nerd for some time, so I'm glad to be able to put a numerical value on it. ;-) I'm a little disappointed that my geekiness is quite so low though, and I wish my dorkiness had fell just the other side of 50%. Anyone want to post comments with revisionist quiz results? ;-D
