What Be Your Nerd Type?

Here are my results. (The people that created this can't type)

Your Result: Science/Math Nerd

(Absolute Insane Laughter as you pour toxic chemicals into a foaming tub of death!)

Well, maybe you aren't this extreme, but you're in league with the crazy scientists/mathmeticians of today. Very few people have the talent of math and science is something takes a lot of brains as well. Thank whosever God you worship, or don't worship, so thank no deity whatsoever in your case, for you people! Most of us would have died off without your help.

Result Breakdown:
85% Science/Math Nerd
53% Literature Nerd
39% Gamer/Computer Nerd
24% Artistic Nerd
22% Musician
12% Social Nerd
3% Drama Nerd

What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Musician
Doo doo de doo waaaa doo de doo! (<-- That's you playing something.) Everyone appreciates the band/orchestra geeks and the pretty voices. Whether you sing in the choir, participate in a school/local band, or sit at home writing music, you contribute a joy to society that everyone can agree on. Yay! Welcome to actually doing something for poor, pathetic human souls. (Just kidding.)

What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Literature Nerd
Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works.
It's okay. I understand.

The quiz is severely flawed in that it explicitly uses your opinion of yourself. A better quiz would ask more knowledge-based questions in each area (there were a few), putting only a little weight on self-opinion. Ie., a question like "On what instrument is it relatively simple to dynamically select for certain harmonics while playing a note or chord?" with four choices would be better than something like "How well do you know instruments?" with choices like "a lot! w00t!" :p

Weird, why is it saying 'Musician' rather than 'music nerd'! And why aren't there questions about musicians just like the questions on different aspects!

Social Nerd, hehe... Guess I'm socially secured! :biggrin:

Considering the questions involving politics I am assuming they mean the type that are into activism, debate team, charity work, model UN, running for class president, ect.
