All I need now is a pocket protector and some thick glasses held together with tape.

 

[turbo]

All I need now is a pocket protector and some thick glasses held together with tape.

You also need an old bamboo and ivory slide rule in a heavy leather belt holster (voice of experience, here!).

You also need an old bamboo and ivory slide rule in a heavy leather belt holster (voice of experience, here!).

Or a circular slide rule. They can fit right in behind your pocket protector... Or so I've been told.

Supreme Nerd. Apply for a professorship at MIT now!.Ah, if only getting a professorship at MIT were as easy as taking a "nerd test"...

 

[drizzle]

my answer to the last question "Why did you take this quiz?" was:
Had to prove that I am not as nerdy as someone else, and here’s what I get,

37% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
62% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Low Ranking Nerd. Definitely a nerd but low on the totem pole of nerds.

Just as I guessed

 

[Molydood]

49% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
50% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers

how boring am ?

Interesting... a 64 apparently I am a low ranking nerd. I don't know whether I am relieved or upset because I made a D...

 

[Topher925]

2% scored higher (more nerdy),

Uhhh...

 

[BobG]

Interesting:

41% scored in the top 10%
67% scored in the top 25%
82% scored significantly above average (60% or higher)

PF is almost as good as Lake Woebegone when it comes to nerds.

Of those scoring in the top 25%, 46% figured out how to put their score in a quote box. 70% of people scoring between 75 and 90 figured out how to put their score in a quote box and only 31% of those scoring 90 or above figured out how to put their score in a quote box, so I theorize that too much nerdiness tends towards non-functionality disorders.

Of those scoring in the bottom 75%, only 31% figured out how to put their score in a quote box and 15% either posted no numeric score or botched their attempt at posting their score (based on the assumption that those posting no numeric score became frustrated when they botched their attempt and just deleted their score).

Evidently, a rating between 75 and 90 provides the optimal level of nerdiness, since performance declines both above 90 and below 75. Of course, the only two able to get the cool picture of a finger to show up in their post scored 97 and 98, so at some point nerdiness seems to break through to sheer genius.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

I think that the test is a bit out dated. Most people on the internet probably own laptops now and if you still own any computers with less than a gig of memory you are probably more likely a nerd than not.

That's probably the reason for the necropost.

Yikes! I'm getting nerdier with age! (Or, others are correct that the quiz is outdated with more advanced techology becoming more commonly used.)
Today's score:

11% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
88% scored lower (less nerdy).

I think my computer activities and friday night homework gave me away... What the test didn't understand was if I didn't complete those physics lectures, the world (my world) would have come to an end!

Lol, I think my knowledge of networking, and the fact that I build my computers, and study on Friday nights did it for me :P

I wouldn't have thought me to be Supreme Nerd God but I'll take the title.

 

[Dembadon]

Overall, you scored as follows:



14% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
85% scored lower (less nerdy).


Some of the questions were pretty funny. It's fairly easy to distinguish which answers will score the most "nerd points", though. Cute test.

 

[Borg]

I have to agree about it being dated. No questions about cell phone usage, apps, etc. My score would definitely have been lower in that case since I don't even have one. Pretty unusual for someone who works as a programmer.

 

[qntty]

6% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and

wow I was really surprised considering that I guessed on most of the knowledge-based questions (name-that-scientist, periodic table, and programming language)

 

[Galteeth]

42 percent scored higher


surprising. I didn't know anything about the computer questions.

 

[kakarotyjn]

I can't distinguish between the answers to more nerdy and to less nerdy.Knowing Maxwell lead to more nerdy,but how about knowing RAM or Computer language?

 

[kakarotyjn]

lol,i'm going to apply MIT,haha

18% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
81% scored lower (less nerdy).

[Matterwave]

Low level nerd it is then...

Although it's not too hard to cheat on this test. I got 100% just for fun. =P

 

[GeorginaS]

Good heavens. How did I manage this? I out-nerded Moonbear? Not possible.

Wow, and I thought I was positively normal :P Guess I'm just a whole lot nerdier than I first thought :)- and I know nothing about computers!- oh the joys of nerdiness.

Those are such big lies. :| I'm apart of the group of people in the back row of a classroom being called the "cheap seats" cause we're so obviously distracting everyone else. But then again, we would be playing a deviated version of double D, but that's only slightly nerdy. And what makes you think knowing all the elements on the periodic table make you MIT material?

 

[Chi Meson]

A new question for the quiz:

"How often do you necropost in 4-year-dead threads and not realize it?"
--Just this once
--Once per week
--Once per day
--Have I?

And I am only going to get nerdier this year.

 

[Cerlid]

I am too nerdy to take that test, it is not nerdy enough and I will if asked break down how nerdy I am into distinct categories that defy testing by such a blunt tool.

To put it bluntly I am more nerdy than Wierd Al:

 

[ViolentCorpse]

21% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
78% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Mid-Level Nerd. Wow, it takes a lot of hard nerdy practice to reach this level.

But.. I'm not a nerd.

[Illuminerdi]

It ranked me in the 91st percentile, but I really doubt that's accurate.
I spend many hours at the gym every week and have never read comic books, sci fi, etc., and it seems the crowd self-identifying as nerd is doing little but perpetuate the highly inaccurate stereotype that intelligence is linked with social ineptitude and unhealthy obsessions.

 

[saltkraxen]

My 'nerd' score:

"that intelligence is linked with social ineptitude and unhealthy obsessions."

Because, it is!

 

[lisab]

"that intelligence is linked with social ineptitude and unhealthy obsessions."

Because, it is!

In popular culture, it is. But I question if it's real. I've known plenty of socially inept, unhealthy people who are...um, for lack of a more graceful term...dumb as tree stumps.

 

[Illuminerdi]

"that intelligence is linked with social ineptitude and unhealthy obsessions."

Because, it is!

Find the Terman study on gifted children.
That is all.

 

[Kholdstare]

Guys! I was just joking ! :D

I don't really know what intelligence is linked with.

[Psych101]

Overall, you scored as follows:

30% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
69% scored lower (less nerdy).

^^^I found the above statistics pretty unsurprising.

Now can somebody please give me examples of how to make the results of this survey more accurate? The reason I ask for this is because I personally think it is way too easy to manipulate the results of this survey since (at least for me) I figured out how to manipulate the results in a desired fashion (I make the results nerdier or less nerdier) by answering certain opinionated questions in a certain manner (for example, I can pick a larger or smaller Interval for the question on "Average Internet Usage Per Day" to make myself respectively seem nerdier or less nerdy.).

Maybe putting a strict time constraint on the quiz might make it easier to make the testee answer the questions more honestly? Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make the results of the quiz more reflective of what it is designed to measure?

 

[CFDFEAGURU]

Here is what I scored.

High Level Nerd.
