How much of a Nerd, Geek or a Dork are you?
[link|http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9935030990046738815|The Nerd, Geek or Dork test]
The questions seem to be well-thought-out on this one.
I scored: Modern, Cool Nerd
60% Nerd, 56% Geek, 30% Dork

Based on their definitions, that's probably true. But to decide nerd + one obsession == "modern cool nerd" betrays a bit about what the author wants to believe about himself. If I had an obsession I'd be cooler? If I could tell you every movie the Farelly brothers have made I'd be cooler? Not buying it.

***************************************************************
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
************************************************************
Hehehe, and I guessed I was closest to a Nerd also, so that's cool too! And they are very good with the fit, as I am the one everyone I know in RL calls for computer problems (often referred to John or another friend after knowing the whole story however), and the one everyone calls for "trivial" bits of info. ;)
No one's ever asked me to quote the movie Titanic though. ;)

Joe Normal. 26 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 21% Dork. However....
.. this was interesting:
How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 99% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 99% on geekosity
You scored higher than 99% on dork points
That's a little weird to me.
