From Rev. Barb:
Dear Ones:
     A little 'change of pace' today, with the above Venn diagram.  'Great White Snark' came up with a good one here.
     Most likely you can readily classify yourself, but if not, here's a quiz you can take: www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9935030990046738815
     And here are my results if you're 'curious':

The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test

Written by donathos

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test ...

Modern, Cool Nerd

83 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 30% 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! 

Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

     Just so you know--no kidding--during my undergrad years we used SLIDE RULES --'nerd rules', as we called them.
     Some of the guys (I went to an 'all male bastion of academic knowledge') wore their slide rules on their belts, which would hang down vertically and 'swing' a bit as they walked.
     Some 'slide rule holders' (like the heavy leather ones) were more 'prestigious' than others, just as the slide rules, themselves, came in everything from cheapo white plastic (mine) to more formidable, wider and more scale-intensive laminated wood ones.
     I guess even in the world of nerdo-academia, size matters as only guys can make it matter.
     Many used pocket protectors, too, but these were pretty much 'standard issue'.
     Me, I'd just lash the thing down on top of my textbook, along with a rubber-banded handful of pen, pencils, compass, and various 'implements' and fasten the pile together with an elastic book band.
Many Blessings To You
