(It’s a long test. Also, I searched to see if there had been a previous Nerd test topic on the SDMB and didn’t find one, so apologies in advance if I’ve duplicated someone else’s previous post.)
I got a 24.2% nerd rating (nerd wannabe). I’m not sure how I feel about that.
BTW, I looked but I didn’t see if the quiz has been rewritten since 1993. Some of the questions (like the ones about e-mail) might have indicated nerdiness in the past, but these days are quite common.
36%. However, this test does need to be updated. “Omni” magazine is no longer published, and the Star Trek section left out crucial pro/anti-Janeway questions.
Is this because I’m a good, burly American male who enjoys chilled beer, insider trading, and goosing waitresses? Or, as Fretful P has deduced, because the quiz is biased toward (?) computer/math/science nerds?
Anyway, the few items I was able to check were things like “Ability to Quote Poetry.” Anyone want to hear “The Pobble Who Has No Toes?”
