Pure Geek

I don’t normally post the results to the various ‘tests’ the float around the web to find out which simpson you are, who you would vote for, what newspaper you read etc…

I enjoyed this one though - so I thought I’d share my result - it was a test to see if I’m a geek, dork or nerd - I’ve always been of the opinion I’m a geek and pretty proud of the fact.

So proud of it I’ve created a blog dedicated to geek culture - that’s the other reason I decided to publish the results. Why not share your results in the comments.

Pure Geek
34 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 21% 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 Geek, earning you the title of: Pure Geek.

It’s not that you’re a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don’t really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren’t quite mainstream. Perhaps it’s anime, perhaps it’s computers, perhaps it’s bottlecaps, perhaps it’s all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don’t quite consider yourself “of that crowd.” Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.

Which, you are.

Congratulations! You’re the one on the RIGHT!
