The Nerdity Test

Good point.

32.4.

I thought I was way nerdier than that.

Pfft. Only 56.4%. I used to score better on that… sigh

NEWS BREAK/Scoring Alert

Nerdity Quotient: 47.6% (238/500)

Closet Nerd

Average score: 32.4%

(Yes, I realize this post probably raises my score)

Yep, I mistook the average score for my actual score. I caught this myself just after I posted, but since my actual score was 31.8, I decided not to re-post. Now, however, you have forced me to reveal the shameful truth: I’m not even as geeky as I said I was! :Sobbing Smilie:

32.4%, which is exactly what I’d expected, or near enough.

20.4% (102/500)

Only 43.4%. But, since it is a bit out of date, I would proably get cloer to a 60% I’m asssuming on a current one, that would have to incorperate things like MMORPG’s, owning multiple game systems, and a catagory for computer modding.

Has anyone under 30 built a computer from the chips up?

39.2 196/500
<Sigh>

I highly doubt it. I don’t think it’s even possible anymore. The closet I came is making simple logic devices. Little NAND, NOR, and what have you gates.

28%, but I was never a math/science person at all. Now Star Trek, that’s my thing. I’m more of a geek than a nerd, I think.

My SO, on the other hand, considered majoring in math. He’s kinda nerdy. Nerdy guys are HOT.

38% here. And I was called a nerd in the past week. Come to think of it, just about all my nerdiness is a product of you guys… It was the monorail cat array that did it I think.

I rank a surprisingly low 31.8%

Oh for the days of yesteryear when I could remember all those constants and acronyms…and when my IQ was actually larger than my weight…sigh. I am getting less nerdy as I age, does that mean I am getting better at socializing?? Inversely proportional traits???

Ditto (on both my “specialty” and my percentage).

38.8% How could this have happened!? I’m much nerdier than that! :eek: :confused: :frowning: :mad: :cool:

22.6%

Considering I work for a software company and spend all day in front of a computer, that is lower than I expected. I guess I’ve forgotten all the constants that I used to know in college plus I scored almost zero on the pop culture/sci fi stuff.

43%. Some stuff I couldn’t answer though, I’m still in highschool and haven’t been to college yet. That test really does need an update…

Ah. That’s better. 46.2% Nerd. :slight_smile:

I learned 400 to 700, but it said that +/-10% was good enough. I honestly had no idea how big an Angstrom was (except “very small”). It’s totally not my area of expertise.

I say we dopers should update the test. Someone start a thread (or I’ll do it in a few days when I have time).
