I'm sure heaps of other people have done this, too, but here're my results. Not too surprising, I suppose. ;)

Modern, Cool Nerd 78 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 17% 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 Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd. Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)! Congratulations!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 79% on nerdiness You scored higher than 75% on geekosity You scored higher than 11% on dork points

How'd you survive last night?

Just fine- was something supposed to have happened? Maybe I'm confused…

Er... I thought you had a phone call?

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Oh- that was Tuesday evening. I'll send you either an email or have a locked post about it. Thank you for asking- it was cordial, and a necessary starting point for the amicable ending of things.

Oh, duh. Memory slippage as to date.
