Okay, about what I'd have expected


NerdTests.com says I'm an Uber Cool High Nerd.  What are you?  Click here!

Big on math, science, and history (though so much on the literature).
Interested in technology (but not orgasmically so, and not impressed just because it's new).
Not much for Sci-Fi and Comics (I liked the Marvel Comics back in the 60s but they went downhill quickly and I haven't been back)
And yeah, pretty low on the "Dumb/Dork" (though, if "Awkward" were a separate category, I'd probably have scored highly as a teen)

Via Andrea.

I am merely a "cool nerd": 44% science/math, 17% tech/computer, 72% scifi/comic (thank you, exhubby), 67% history/literature (huh?) and 31% dumb/dork/awkward (which is an awkward word, no?)

Awkward is definitely an awkward word, kind of like a zen-ironic sledgehammer to the nose.

Uber Cool Nerd God

BOW DOWN BEFORE ME!

I don't know why I didn't do better on the dumb/dork score. I specifically said that I was taking this test to beat someone else's score. Also, nerdiousity is not a word. Nerdosity, maybe, or possibly nerdicity, but never nerdiousity. I mean, the very idea...

I'm a cool Literature/History Geek. (I think I scored lower on Math/Science because I openly admit my fear of Calculus. I don't HATE it, I merely FEAR it.)

There's no reason to fear calculus. It's merely algebra writ continuous.

All bow before Angie!

Angie, wow. :::bowing::: We raise our replica lightsabers to thee.

Hee hee ... I took this the other day. I'm not nearly as goobery as I thought I was ... about 40 percent. :) Now, there were no questions about Star Trek, so .... take that into consideration.

I would have scored much higher on the Sci FI if there had been questions on actual Sci Fi, instead of mostly on that pseudo-Sci Fi crap Star Trek and Star Wars. Also, I don't do comics either. But I got a respectable Uber Cool Nerd God:

Science/Math: 99
Sci-Fi/Comic: 37
Computers/Technology: 85
History/Literature: 97
Dumb/Dork: 3
