Getting things started. . .


Well to start things off I'm going to go ahead and post the results of two test I took awhile back on OkCupid. The first test I'll show is the Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test. The second is the OkCupid Politics test. These two test results should give a fair overview of me in the sense of a few of the broad stereotypes I fall into.

Okay even I don't really believe that last bit. The first test amuses me , and the second test gives my political leanings (in broad strokes).

So here is the first test:




Modern, Cool Nerd
69 % Nerd, 78% Geek, 26% 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!
