Nerd cred
I am nerdier than 82% of all people. Are you nerdier? Click here to find out!

I'm not sure why exactly I scored so high. Probably my ability to spot names of elements and a unnaturally large amount of math and physics training.

Can you deal with having a high-nerd boyfriend?

Somehow I, too, scored an 82 despite failing in numerous critical nerd areas (I use Windows, don't own a graphing calculator, didn't take much math, etc.).

This thing is broke, I tell ya.

C'mon guys, get a room.

I only got a 45, but that test left out whole swaths of nerd-hood. Where were the Star Trek questions, fer God's sake?

There has been some discussion about whether this identifies a nerd or a geek. A nerd would be defined by their love of graphing calculators, math, and computers etc. A geek would be obsessed with Star Trek, memorizing JRR Tolkien novels and showing up to movies dressed as stormtroopers.

I'm much more of a nerd, but I do love the Star Trek (but the nerdy next generation, not that geeky Shatner crap).

Engage!

I got a 55. I guess I'm on the downward slope of my nerd curve. Though I think using that analogy gets me a few more points.

I know that this was posted a while ago, but I'm just now getting the memo. And though it will gall my wife to see it, I got a 99. As the link said:
