Joe Normal
30 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 34% 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 less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal.

This is not to say that you don't have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you--we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast.

I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal.

LOL

Pure Geek
30 % Nerd, 65% 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 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.

Congratulations! You're the one on the RIGHT!

Yikes! I'm the only pure geek. :-( But the description of me is fairly accurate, if I'm to be honest here. For instance, I go to SciFi/Star-Trek Conventions but don't really consider myself to be 'of' that crowd, just fascinated by it.

Also I was fascinated with the books by Helene Hanff who was featured in the film 84 Charing Cross Road. I read everything she ever wrote including some magazine articles, we eventually corresponded by letter and phone and I ultimately met her twice, I took her to lunch and I did an interview with her. :-) And was devastated when I heard this clever, witty, and quite ascerbic lady had passed away.

Modern, Cool Nerd
78 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 39% 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!

65 % Nerd, 13% Geek, 26% Dork That's me. I am so surprised, I thought it would score me as Joe Normal, I was sure of it. Then I get the results and see a pic of a guy that looks a lot like my nerd brother in law! Who I always called a nerd since high school! Anyway, at least it told me "congratulations" on being a nerd.

Fun test. I lol at the third to the last question (even though I answered all the questions truthfully) and then had to click yes.

PURE DORK
The test does point out that dork is another word for an individualist that doesn't quite fit in socially. I can live with that.

dh did his:

Computer Savant

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 and Dork, earning you the title of: Computer Savant.

People confuse you with a Nerd all of the time. You aren't some genius, like some people have said, and didn't/don't really like school all that much (and you especially hated some of the social aspects, like getting mocked). It's just that you have some passions and interests that you're extremely into/good at, and this has placed you in circles with other social
outcasts, some of whom are exceptionally bright.

The awesome thing about being where you are is that you get to hang out with an elite group (though you'd probably rather be alone, or with only the closest friends and family) and you can make quite a good career for yourself in your particular specialities.
Common to this group are people who are highly into electronics/computers as that is where the money lies, today.

Congratulations!


fits him pretty well i think.

oh my! I'm and outcast!

Outcast Genius
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 all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.

Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).

Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.

Congratulations!

Pure Nerd

You scored higher than 99% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 99% on geekosity
You scored higher than 99% on dork points

Gosh, looks like I am the purest, geekiest, dorkiest nerd here.

We DID all answer that we belong to a fan club for a television show, didn't we?
