Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...

Pure Nerd

52 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 43% 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, earning you the title of: 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!

Actually I think I've done this one before, and considering hal got this one from sireesanwar it's possible I got it from her as well.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

Interestingly, you like most of the things that you've read...I must be hard to please. LOL

Oddly enough. I noticed that too after I compared your list to mine. But in your defense, you've read many more of the things on the list than I have. I was actually pretty meh about Hamlet for a long time until I did a semester of just Hammy and we watched every single videotaped version there is. It's about 6. I think we all became Ham-fanatics that year
