Nerd. Geek. 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 Geek, earning you the title of:
Pure Geek.
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.
Whooray! I’m fairly normal. Are You A Near / Geek / Dork? Take the quiz too! Thanks to Jay for finding this first!
So wait. Do I win a prize?

"Cool" nerd?
While I should be eating dinner right now, I decided it would be better to take the quiz that Hersch did so we could compare our results. What I’m trying to figure out is how nerds ever became cool
Modern, Cool Nerd
73 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 3…

Just by TAKING the quiz your geek/nerd/dork quotient should increase significantly. I’m proud to report that I’m largely the nerd variety, with a garnish of geek and dork.
Love your site, adding you to my blogroll if you don’t mind
