Outcast Genius

69 % Nerd, 82% Geek, 69% 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 all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.

 

Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).

 

Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.

 

Congratulations!

 

You know, I don't really think OK Cupid likes Firefox very much. I tried taking it four times on Firefox and kept crashing. I finally had to do it on Explorer. :(

Modern, Cool Nerd

65 % Nerd, 73% Geek, 39% Dork

 

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)!

You're the third person who's told me that it isn't working with Firefox. And it's really odd because I use Firefox and it works for me. :(

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.

 

 

 

Yes! I'm smart!

 

Edit: 65 % Nerd, 30% Geek, 17% Dork

 

And T'Linna, I use Firefox and it worked just fine for me.

Joe Normal

21 % Nerd, 4% Geek, 4% 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 less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal.

 

This is not to say that you don't have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you--we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast.

PURE GEEK

 

43% Nerd 65% Geek 21% Dork

 

Its not that your a school junkie, like the nerd, and you dont really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that arent quite mainstream. Your interests take you to gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual, but you dont quite consider yourself "of that crowd". You consider yourself fairly normal.

 

Which you are.

 

Congratulations! You're the one on the RIGHT!

 

Pure Geek? I can deal with that. :(

Tri-Lamb Material

52 % Nerd, 21% Geek, 65% Dork

 

You scored better than half in Nerd and Dork, earning you the coveted title of: Tri-Lamb Material.

 

The classic, "80's" nerd, you are what most people think of when they think "nerd," largely due to 80's movies like Revenge of the Nerds and TV shows like Head of the Class. You're exceptionally bright and smart, and partly because of that have never quite fit in with your peers or social groups. Perhaps you're realized, or will someday, that it is possible to retain all of the things that you like about being brilliant and still make peace with the social cliques around you. Or maybe you won't--it's really not necessary. As the brothers of Lambda Lambda Lambda discovered, you're fine just the way you are and can take pride in that. I mean, who wants to be like Ogre, right!?

 

Congratulations!

It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.

I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal.

People confuse you with a Nerd all of the time. You aren't some genius, like some people have said, and didn't/don't really like school all that much (and you especially hated some of the social aspects, like getting mocked). It's just that you have some passions and interests that you're extremely into/good at, and this has placed you in circles with other social outcasts, some of whom are exceptionally bright.

 

The awesome thing about being where you are is that you get to hang out with an elite group (though you'd probably rather be alone, or with only the closest friends and family) and you can make quite a good career for yourself in your particular specialities. Common to this group are people who are highly into electronics/computers as that is where the money lies, today.

 

Congratulations!

 

Congrats so it says....

Heh, my schools pretty cool. While there are plenty of the clasic jocks, a good number of my friends love nothing more then to sit down and watch a good TV show. I know a number of my friends love family guy, and theres a few Sci Fi Friday fans in my group.

 

Heck, me and this really popular chick went and saw Epp III at midnight. It would have been romantic if the kids next us werent stabing each other in the eye with their lightsabers, and the guy on the other side wasn't resting his popcorn on his gut :( S'ok the force balanced itself out by the end of the night :(

 

So, long story short, it's not so bad to be a geek in my school :D
