Cool nerd

I spent most of today (starting around 2:00 this morning) alternating between the bed and the bathroom, thanks to either a stomach bug or a minor case of food poisoning from last night's dinner. Either way, it hasn't been fun or pretty.

In better news, I am officially a cool nerd. Yay.

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test…
Modern, Cool Nerd
72% Nerd, 50% Geek, 25% 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!

Are you a Nerd, Geek, or Dork?

Love that quiz-- and I am not embarrassed to admit that I am 91% nerd. Yikes, that sounds a little high.
