quote:Outcast Genius 60 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 56% 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 all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.
Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).
Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.
Congratulations!

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!

El JT's quoting of "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)." brings back fond memories of "that really cute IT guy" at an old job . . . OK, so maybe it wasn't his knowledge we craved, but rather the beautiful green eyes and chiseled features framed in a touseled brown ponytail, the tall frame, and most of all, the lovely charming Irish accent. . . sigh. Thank you for allowing me the moment of nostalgia for my favorite modern, cool, nerd. OK, so he was probably a geek, but anyway.

I rated as Pure Nerd:

But I think that isn't terribly indicative of being nerdy, although that's what I rated myself as. What's more substantial, I think, is my comparative points to other people of my age and gender:
You scored higher than 53% on nerdiness You scored higher than 72% on geekosity You scored higher than 60% on dork points
For although I am a nerd, more people who take this quiz are. So technically, I'm more unusually geeky for my age and gender.

This is not to say that you don't have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you--we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast.
I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal.

56 % Nerd, 8% 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 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.
Very interesting....

Modern, Cool Nerd 73 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 17% Dork
You scored higher than 81% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 73% on geekosity
You scored higher than 16% on dork points
And on the Buffy test I got:
Dawn Summers 63% amorality, 54% passion, 72% spirituality, 63% selflessness
Dawn is a person driven by her love for her friends and her desire to make a difference. Perhaps you are, too. You're willing to do whatever is necessary to do what is right for those you care about, and sometimes this can get you in a little bit of trouble.
Most of all, however, you have a heart of gold.
You scored higher than 54% on morality
You scored higher than 27% on repose
You scored higher than 64% on spirituality
You scored higher than 72% on selflessness
