Take the test [URL=http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nt2.php]here[/URL]. It's fun. The following sentences contain spoilers for the test: I've answered all of the questions honestly and am surprised at how low I've scored considering the fact that I've got a light saber in my room, lol. Also, I had just solved a math puzzle that had been posted on these boards before I took the test, but still got a very lowish science/math nerd score. I'm familiar with lots of programming languages, own a comic book collection and have just finished reading a book that's longer than 300 pages a few days ago. All of that makes me kind of wonder how somebody could achieve a high score on this test. x_x

http://www.nerdtests.com/images/badge/nt2/72f1db6dbfe81f0d.png 92% and a mega dork, Funnyhair wins! I have argued about super hero's, have read more than one 300 page book, and I spend too much time on video games and RPG's which the test fails to mention surprisingly. As the results imply, I am a total nerd.

I wonder if you get docked for answering that you still use BASIC, but not C? That was fun, anyhow.

Err I don't know lol, look what I got

I went back and tried to max out the nerdiness results. I think I've nearly nailed it pretty much on the first try, does that make me even nerdier?

well, I knew I wasn't one.

They should add a question regarding the use of the word "anyhow".

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate

So I went to go look at the test. 4 of the questions, none of the multiple choice options were really an option for me. The test didn't let me leave them blank either. So I just went back and filled those 4 randomly.

In all honesty, I think my Sci-Fi/Comic thing should be lower, and my Technology Computer one higher. But whatever.
