I'm a "modern, cool nerd"...
Meme ganked from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) orikes13. Whee!
Modern, Cool Nerd
56 % Nerd, 69% 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 eeked out for themselves a modicrum 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! |

I am also the Modern, Cool Nerd. Go us. :D
*pout* I wanted to be a Modern Cool Nerd. Why'd I end up a Pure Nerd?
Maybe you answered as if you're more self-conscious or socially awkward? Maybe I just have geekier hobbies? Let's blame the test! :)

Modern, Cool Nerd here... Trying to take over the world. (But then, what do you expect for users of LJ?)
I came in as an "Outcast Genius". Big picture of Bill Gates on my page... <whine>But Bill Gates is EEEEVVVIIILLLL!!!</whine> My results will be posted at 9:30 AM tomorrow (Friday) morning on my web site, but this was just too cool of a test to pass up commenting on immediately. I'm all about the instant gratification. |
