Because it’s Friday — and because I’m feeling too lazy right now to actually write anything — I decided to follow my friend Jen’s example<\/a> and take the Nerd Test. The results were surprisingly gratifying:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Modern, Cool Nerd<\/b>
\n69 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 39% Dork<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
For The Record:<\/p>\n

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning\/being smart\/academia.
\nA Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
\nA Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations\/interactions.
\nYou scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Nerds didn’t use to be cool, but in the 90’s that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn’t quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and “geek is chic.” 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). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
\nCongratulations!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
