    I took the test and while I'm somewhat nerdy, there is still a lot of room for improvement. 52% of users got a more nerdier score than myself.

    27% scored higher (more nerdy),
    1% scored the same, and
    72% scored lower (less nerdy).

    What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

    Mid-Level Nerd.

    I'm on boards on friday night taking a nerd test, I think you can add a few thousand points there

    I didn't think i was that much of a nerd, but I am good at guessing, so maybe i got those answers right.

    51% scored higher (more nerdy),
    2% scored the same, and
    47% scored lower (less nerdy).

    What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

    Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.

    I'm a mid level nerd. 24% are nerdier.

    The questions based on the American education system were annoying..

    Damnit, I can't even be nerdy!

    To be honest with you Diane, I'm surprised. I mean I'm spending my Friday night reading the API documentation for a C++ library. For fun.

    44% scored higher (more nerdy),
    1% scored the same, and
    55% scored lower (less nerdy).

    Just as I suspected...


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,737 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    I think as BlueWolf said taking the test on a Friday night is enough evidence.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I am a high level nerd and should apply to MIT immediately apparently. I must have guessed those scientists correctly then.

    14% scored higher than me.

    I think this test may be broken however.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,706 ✭✭✭lintdrummer


    Fairly average, which is accurate.

    36% scored higher (more nerdy),
    1% scored the same, and
    63% scored lower (less nerdy).

    What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

    Low Ranking Nerd. Definitely a nerd but low on the totem pole of nerds.


    That's the worst place to be... now the cool kids won't accept me and the nerds won't take me seriously :(

    Another high-level Nerd here, albeit one too old for MIT. Yes, I have an actual RPN calculator (HP 35s) as well as software versions on my home and work computers.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    :D

    My niece was right all along. Low ranking nerd, how dare they.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,159 ✭✭✭mrkiscool2


    Only 4% of people are nerdier than me apparently, and 0 % are the same. But that's not right, because another person on here was also nerdier than 96% of people. They aren't using a proper algorithm the lazy bastards!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,421 ✭✭✭major bill


    for someone that works in IT I am happy with the ''Not Nerdy but Not hip'' result

    :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭zenno


    Without nerds, the world would be a boring place. The next top nerd could change history forever. I'm a low ranking nerd according to the results :D but the folks up top are the masters of new things to come.

    Creativity.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    Creativity is not a prerequisite for nerdiness. And indeed vice-versa.

    I believe it is, in a nerdy way.
