Nerd Test, C'mon, how nerdy are you? Options

[Dark_Elf_]

94% scored higher (more nerdy), and
6% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.

I think this test is broken, there's no way I'm cool.

How's that for a self esteem problem? O.o

It may just be because this test measures the two as far extremes, nerdy and cool. This is not always the case. Just because someone isn't a nerd doesn't mean that they are cool, either.


And their questions would only pinpoint you as a nerd if you knew a lot about computers and were older, like if you had been through college.

Well, I cant remeber what I got.. shut down the window before I could copy it..

I'm only really nerdy when it comes to history, then I turn into teh uberness geek. Everything else (Other then a few things in chemistry) I just blow at..

[DoomedOne]

I'm more two-faced. I am incredibly nerdy in one sense but it takes a lot to provoke me into revealing my nerdy side. I know a lot about movies, books, television, history, technology, history of media, history of technology, etcetera. I'm pretty cool, I just hide the fact that I regularly visit an internet forum of a game I've been tracking for more than a year now.

[Konji]

I'm pretty damn uncool... I just manage to cover it up well.

[Wurlon]

If halo 2 posters count as biohazard signs I would be a lot more nerdier...... I better go check the Oblivion store for TES posters.....

[Haw]

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
Not nerdy, but then again maybe not all that cool either

Not as nerdy as I thought considering I'm the smart one that always pays attention and gets told off by school peers for using language that confuses them. I had to guess the school stuff; we're not all American, dang website!

[Brood]

Many people don't know I'm a developer, those that do know aren't really phased by it anyway. They all know I'm a good writer, always used to argue with my English teacher who didn't know a thing about quality story writing!

Well screw her, I'm doing what I want to do now and she can't do a thing about it! Sexist so-&-so...

Not as nerdy as I thought considering I'm the smart one that always pays attention and gets told off by school peers for using language that confuses them.

I use confusing language when I'm insulting someone's intelligence. Other than that, my speech is usually fairly normal, if very stiff and formal. People told me in a recent conversation that I was too formal and polite to curse. They should see me when I'm pissed off or I stub my thumb, because then I curse for minutes straight.

I used to use confusing and complex speech a lot, but I realized that nobody (or very few people) could understand me, so I toned it down. Now I only use complex language when I'm insulting some jerk's intelligence, so I don't get the crap beaten out of me, or when I'm debating a complex issue with a very intelligent person. My level of speech tends to change depending on how good at understanding complex speech the person I'm speaking with is, and as I change subjects. My speech in debates with friends who can understand me is fairly eloquent, but when I'm explaining how to figure out a problem to my group in math class I simplify things so it can be understood, since the reason they don't understand is that the math book explains things in a complex way. Translating (ideas and concepts, not languages) is my specialty.

Hahaha, so true!

Luckily nowadays my aquaintance is older and more intelligent than it was some years ago and so I can use complex language as I wish without being beaten the crap out of.

No, I use complex language so that the idiot I'm insulting doesn't understand, so he doesn't beat me up. Or I lower my level of language so the person can understand.

I had a verbal joust with an idiot today. He kept on insulting me, and I always had a one line response that was better.

Him: I fell from heaven. That's why all the girls like me.
Girl: (sitting next to us) Uh huh. Sure.
Me: He forgot to mention that he landed on hi shead when he fell from heaven.
Him: So did you!
Me: Yeah, but I landed on a trampoline. You landed on a rock.

Him: I spend half an hour on my hair every morning.
Me: I spend no time at all on my hair in the morning. (I have long hair, for a guy, just short of shoulder length)
Him: We can tell.
Girl: (Same one) *trying to keep the peace* Hey, I like his hair, it's cool.
Me: Sure, it's obvious that spend no time on my hair. But it looks like you don't either.

Him: Why do you have long hair anways?
Me: Because I like my hair long.
Him: Well, why don't you style it more?
Me: Because I hate you.
Him: Huh?
Me: I don't have to look at it, why should i care how it looks? Since you care so much about how I look...

So, as much as I occasionally do use big words, when I'm talking to people who don't understand them, and I want them to understand the insult, I use a quick wit rather than large words.

I don't get beaten up for using big words. We have cops in my school. Cops with guns. And I'm big, for my age, stronger than most of the other people, (not as strong as the "jocks" but stronger than a lot of other people) and most importantly, I'm very, very, fast at running away. I won't fight unless I think there's a good chance I'll win, and the fight is necesary, or if I'm forced to. (self defense)
