How Much of a Nerd Are You?

How nerdy a life do you lead?

Okay, let's be honest here. If you're reading this right now, here on this site, you are probably - to some degree - a geek, a dork, or a nerd. In fact, that's the entire subject of this week's issue of The Escapist: What do those words mean? What does it mean to be a geek, a dork, or a nerd, and why should we care?

Naturally, this material is ripe for a quiz. We're all a little bit nerdy here, but just how nerdy are we? How potent is the geek fire that runs through our veins? Are we mere pretenders, or are we true-born nerds - or are we somewhere in between?

That's what this week's quiz asks, anyway: How much of a nerd are you?

As always, you can take the quiz as many times as you like if you aren't fond of the answer you get, but just remember, to thine own geek self (or should that be "geeks elf"?) be true.

Hmm... odd. I'd think I'm more of a dork than that.

Edit: Squee! 3rd ed Character Sheet!

I scored "Dabbler". I guess I expected it to be a bit higher than that.

Seems to hit the nail right on the head.

Um...I just opened this quiz, saw that the first question had nothing that applied to me, and closed it. How do you do that? How can you exclude the possibility that someone might like classics, or poetry, or just non-genre fiction?! Is it REALLY that fucking unlikely? Sure, I like fantasy, sci-fi and horror. But I love poetry, and I like many modern works of fiction and classic novels a lot more.

I mean...ugh. I sometimes think that we nerds have an issue with reverse-snobbery. Just because some pretentious people like poetry doesn't bloody mean that poetry is pretentious, in the same way as just because some anti-social people like comic books and games, it doesn't mean that games and comic books are anti-social.

I actually bothered to go through the rest of the questions, but the vast majority don't quite work for me.

I mean, the part about the best part of "my room"? I have a house dammit, multiple rooms!

Also, why no option for "I don't have any action figures", better options for the food (some of us can cook you know) and perhaps a little recognition for those of us living in other countries...

Mostly though I'm annoyed at getting "apprentice dork" which is the worst sounding of the lot. I mean, I work in science - surely that counts for something?

It's this sort of thing that turns scientists into Mad Scientists!

I think maybe "finding fault with the quiz" should automatically qualify for Beyond-Ubernerd status

I'd be cool with that. As long as I got a shiny badge on my account .
