I don't know whether to use my sheep icon or one of my geek icons for this. Oh, the dilemma! The Angst!
Modern, Cool Nerd 82 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 47% 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 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 eeked out for themselves a modicrum 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)! Congratulations! |

Date: 2005-08-25 05:08 pm (UTC)I am worst around people I don't know. Get me in a group (large or small, it doesn't matter) of people I don't know and you won't hear much out of me. I am very uncomfortable in that situation. I will also stick close by the person I do know (gotta know SOMEONE, else why would I be there?) This is why I rarely go places where I only know one or two people.
