Post #193,262 by bionerd 2/6/05 4:16:25 PM Reply	My score Overall, you scored as follows: 16% scored higher (more nerdy), and 84% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!. --That's what I was afraid of. -"I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers."
