    Here is a pretty little internet test (which we all know is infallible) which will categorise and stereotype you into one of the following categories:
    • Nerd
    • Geek
    • Dork

    Based on what you answer.

    I got:

    You scored higher than 83% on nerdiness

    You scored higher than 43% on geekosity

    You scored higher than 25% on dork points

    Pure Nerd
    73 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 21% Dork

    The fact that I've never believed in studying probably brings down my nerd rating.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    The SAT measures different things to what school measures, so you can do well in one and badly in the other and it doesn't really reflect your intelligence at all. =)

    Huh suprising that thought i was more of a geek :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,858 ✭✭✭Undergod


    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!




    Seems pretty right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭Jack Lynch


    Wikipedia used to give a definition of geek which matches this quiz's definition of Nerd. Although, their articles on Nerd and Geek are now different to what they were two months ago

    Is it just me or are a lot of us Pure Nerds.

    We should all make a TV show to rival Pure Mule. That'll put those Offaly fellas in their place!

    Am I the David to whom you refer? I'll socialise you!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Acid_Violet


    Yes you are.

    We're just a big bunch of nerds and dorks, with a few geeks thrown in for good measure!

    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)!

    You scored higher than 85% on nerdiness
    You scored higher than 99% on geekosity
    You scored higher than 78% on dork points

    Yeah Napoleon Dynamite is more Dork than Geek or Nerd.

    Do you ever initiate conversations with people about computer operating systems and/or sing the praises of a particular type of hardware/software?

    As in, the 'Offaly fellas place' may, in fact, be Offaly.

    Just for the record, and not to appear at all conformist:
    Pure Nerd
    82 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 43% Dork
    Interesting, if not at all shocking.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 11,362 ✭✭✭✭Scarinae


    Higher than 88% on nerdiness
    Higher than 30% on geekosity
    Higher than 14% on dork points

    Which makes me a Pure Nerd, with 78 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 17% Dork


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 438 ✭✭StephenC_IRL


    it said I was a dork, i more considered myself a nerd with the obsession with computers and such but ehh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 Flaxman


    34 % Nerd, 8% Geek, 21% Dork

    Funny thing is that my middle name is Joseph and that I'm normal. What does it mean to be normal? Is that a thing a nerd would ask? A Geek? A Dork?
    I would call myself old-fashioned but Joe Normal is good.
