You know you're a nerd when...

You know how I know I'm a nerd? When I looked at the bottom of the test and saw that I scored above the 99th percentile for nerd AND geek AND dork, I though to myself "Hey, I did great on this test. Awesome!"


Your Score: Pure Nerd


91 % Nerd, 39% 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 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!
