Are you a nerd, a geek or a dork?

That test said I'm "Joe Normal".

Sure, I may go through stages where Star Trek is my interest (or another relatively geeky show), but I don't talk about it much or at all, I don't dress up and go to conventions, I don't write fan fiction, and in fact, I prefer the wars and the tools they use far more than any characters (see: the typical like of non-fiction material applied to a fictional universe). I hate school and studying, but I also hate parties and social situations/events. I don't look like a geek/nerd/whatever, and I don't dress like one, even though I have no fashion sense.

Back in school, the geeks/nerds/whatever were just as social as anyone else when they were amongst their group, and they all attended the social functions. Whereas me for example, I wasn't social with anyone, and I didn't go to any social function (I'd rather gnaw my own arm off, seriously).

I'm mostly a nerd, but I go through lengthy geek phases.

I'd love to be seen as a geek or a nerd...but unfortunately I'm just a simple dork

Pure Dork

43 % Nerd, 35% Geek, 65% 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 Dork, earning you the title of: Pure Dork. Like our friends Napoleon Dynamite & co.

It's not as though you were some whiz-kid in school. Oh, sure, you probably did okay in some classes, but were probably awful in others. Certainly most people thought you were smarter than you thought yourself to be. And it's not that you have some overriding passion, like computers or Star Trek that sets you apart for the crowd, though you likely share some interest in some of those sorts of things. You just like to be yourself, and want to express yourself for who you are.

And, really, there's nothing wrong with that. Being who you are often invites scorn, and so it's a difficult thing in a world that rewards conformity. Be proud of your dorkiness, for often it's just another word for individuality. (I'd vote for you!)

Congratulations!

According to the "Nerd Geek or Dork Test", I'm "Tri-Lamb Material". Half nerd, half dork. Yay?

As my profile claims... I am a self-proclaimed dork.

Hehe. I took the quiz: 92nd percentile in nerdiness, 22nd percentile in geekosity, 100th percentile in dorkiness. Tri-Lamb material!
