A NERD BY ANY OTHER NAME

One of my friends always introduces me as, "the coolest nerd you'll ever meet."

Not one to be pigeonholed so easily, I decided to test his label online by taking this QUIZ.

And the results are in: The test reads "Pure Nerd."

The site elaborated, "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 Nerd (82%), earning you the title of: Pure Nerd."

And went on to say, "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. Congratulations!"

Go ahead and take the test for yourself. I dare you.
