I answered Assembly too, it was between that and BASIC due to the following.

Also got 81, and also used the reverse notation calculators (Soviet made, MK-61 and MK-52). For which I memorized the entire 103 commands of my favorite game :\

I only got a 65. I'm not much of an academic nerd as I hated school. If that quiz would have been about Star Trek or stuff like that, my true nerdiness would definitely shine through.

It only recently occurred to me that it might've been a... trait.

Quote:

Hmm I picked BASIC as people often used to refer to it derisively as 'not a real language' i.e. using the word real to mean poor.
Assembler I would think of as a language, in that is converts (although very simple) to machine code.
But then you scored a bigger nerd than me so your probably right!

Those were my thoughts, but poor or not: real is real. It is what it is! I grew up with BASIC 1.1.

Assembly (not assembler, see here: wiki link!) is a very low level programming language.

Because it is so low level, it is in fact more efficient, and with A LOT OF TIME and effort you could produce just about anything with it you wanted. Good luck though, because each commaind in assembly is equal to one processor command, and processors need to perform hundreds of thousands of things, or something to that effect!

Do I get nerd points when I'm right and they're wrong?

29% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
70% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Mid-Level Nerd. Wow, it takes a lot of hard nerdy practice to reach this level.

Soo...that would be a 71?
