57% nerdy


Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test…

Tri-Lamb Material

57 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 52% Dork

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 and Dork, earning you the coveted title of: Tri-Lamb Material.

The classic, “80’s” nerd, you are what most people think of when they think “nerd,” largely due to 80’s movies like Revenge of the Nerds and TV shows like Head of the Class. You’re exceptionally bright and smart, and partly because of that have never quite fit in with your peers or social groups. Perhaps you’ve realized, or will someday, that it is possible to retain all of the things that you like about being brilliant and still make peace with the social cliques around you. Or maybe you won’t–it’s really not necessary. As the brothers of Lambda Lambda Lambda discovered, you’re fine just the way you are and can take pride in that. I mean, who wants to be like Ogre, right!?

Congratulations!

Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you’re interested in any of the following:

The rude word in Market Square

Remember I told you I asked for a webcam overlooking Market Square in Nottingham? At the time I thought it would be interesting to share the view that councillors got of the progress of the nearly £10m works being undertaken on the square.

Over the weekend, some wag thought to use the newly fallen snow in the city centre to write a very rude word in enormous letters to be displayed wherever the webcam was seen.

This included the local BBC Nottingham pages, which for a goodly few hours blithely displayed the very rude word on its webcam page.

Just like when the Nottingham protester/artist covered the city centre with “Public Urination” posters, Twitter lit up with news of the enormous swear within a few minutes of it happening.

And whoever the prankster was, they were much more successful at making a word legible than a few Umrats in Basel trying to communicate with Blighty through a municipal webcam!

If you want to see for yourself what the rude word was, you can find it here.
