What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Drama Nerd
You sure do love the spotlight and probably have a very out-going and loud personality. Or not. That's just a stereotype, of course. Participation in the theatre is something to be very proud of. Whether you have a great voice for musicals, or astounding skills for dramas/comedies; keep up the good work. We need more entertainment these days that isn't television and video games (not that these things are bad, necessarily.)
Result Breakdown:
80% Drama Nerd
72% Social Nerd
69% Gamer/Computer Nerd
47% Science/Math Nerd
27% Literature 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.

Strangely enough, I don't consider myself a "nerd" at all. I try to think in a logical and rational manner, and enjoy amassing whatever knowledge I can, but I have also taken great pleasure in severely injuring people who tried to bully me. I love Science Fiction and Marvel comics, but I drink and smoke and carry a gun, and most of my girlfriends were married.
By the bye, to the best of my knowledge the term "nerd" never existed until it was created by the writers of the "Happy Days" TV series to bypass the fact that they couldn't call someone a garbagehead on the air.

I thought it was created by Dr. Seuss!

Depending upon the time-frame, that is possible. I doubt, however, that his vision of it was anything like the current interpretation.
My exposure to, and appreciation of, Dr. Seuss was based upon "Hop on Pop", "Green Eggs and Ham", and the incredibly politically astute "Starbellied Sneetches". The first time that I ever heard the term, however, was on "Happy Days". You have to know that "nerd" was not the word that Fonzie was actually thinking of when he uttered it.

Yeah, I can't imagine the Fonz saying "nerd" lol. He must have been talking to that guy with the red hair.

I'd have to say I'm a computer nerd, the only reason it came out science/maths is because I said I had an interest and would consider a career in it and took classes in it.

Not something I do outside of a work environment though. So not exactly 'nerdy' in my opinion.

There weren't really computing questions, everything in that area was about gaming, which I don't really do so it skewed the result.

Okay, something went wrong. O.o
I despise social interaction. Guess 4 AM isn't the right time to take quizzes.

OK, here Science/Math nerd fits me well, but the computer nerd isn't going right...it should have been at the second or third place. And hell! I am NOT a drama nerd! :devil:
