Members HBear Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 78% scored higher (more nerdy), 2% scored the same, and 20% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: Not nerdy, but definitely not hip. Yay, I'm less of a nerd that I was at high school - I may even make it to halfway cool if I live long enough! Actually I think I'm more of a geek than a nerd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think of myself as more of a geek than a nerd, it seems like geeks have more class. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HBear Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Geeks don't have more class, they just dress better. :lol Whilst it isn't an official definition, a fellow geek reckons that the main difference is that nerds are fat and sweaty whilst geeks are thin and not sweaty. That would mean I'll become a nerd in November/December-ish : sad, just before our summer baby is due (I'm in Australia, please pardon the sense of humour :roll ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get a Linux penguin holding a bible instead of wearing an over sized cross but that was the best I could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean I'll become a nerd in November/December-ish : sad, just before our summer baby is due (I'm in Australia, please pardon the sense of humour :roll ) The only problem with this statement is, I know lots of heavy sweaty geeks. And the typical stereotype (Revenge of the nerds, for instance) non of the nerds were fat or sweaty. Personally the difference I've noticed (not defined, but casual observation) is that geeks seem to be more centralized, whilst nerds tend to be more "well rounded". For example, you can have a computer geek, math geek, science geek, etc... While a nerd (especially as demonstrated by the test) tends to know computers, math, science, and on and on. So I would consider myself a computer geek. I have an interest in science (applied to creation and real science, not really evolution), but I would definitely not say that I know my way around the subject. But I do know my way around computers. Since my geekness/nerdiness tends to be centralized I would just call myself a (computer) geek. And as you can see I'm not that good at English and formulating ideas into something comprehensive, so I'm going to stop typing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you have computer geek if that's your preference. I'm probably more of a Nintendo/Wii geek (although I know people who are way more geeky/passionate than I am), with a side serving of sci-fi. :smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
