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, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. |

[How nice of them to let me know that my condition is no longer socially crippling. I'm pretty sure, though, that if I were put back in high school right now, I wouldn't notice that the times have been a-changin'. Also, I thought that a "geek" was somebody who ate weird stuff for a carnival, but then, I did learn that by looking it up after watching a particular X-Files episode, so I'm in no position to argue.]
