Nerd/Geek/Dork Meme
Published by Deanna Hoak August 25th, 2005 in blogSigh. And I thought I was a geek….
| Pure Nerd 56 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 21% 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, 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! (If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback!

I’m Pure Nerd too!
I knew I wasn’t a geek. Too far behind the techie curve.
Me, too. I’m 91% Nerd-yipes!
You sucked me in with this one. I actually posted my results in my journal. I think Mensans will find it irresistible!
I new I was a nerd. Even more so than you.
Yeah, this one was cute. It occurs to me that on Jimmy Neutron, Jimmy’s a nerd, his one friend’s a geek, and his other one’s a dork. :-)
You’re right! That probably planted the seed!
