Nerd, Geek, Dork?

The Case Writers/Editors group spent an hour and a half on Wednesday debating the finer points of AP/Chicago/Case style, which begged the question: did that make us nerds, geeks, or dorks. Luckily Steve T. knew of an appropriate testing mechanism.

Here were my results.

Pure Nerd 65 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 43% Dork

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, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. Congratulations! Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST
