I am a nerd.

Chris Maunder

I just did the nerd test[^] and received the following:

My Nerd Score:
100%
Nerd God

0% scored higher (more nerdy),
0% scored the same, and
100% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!!

I've clearly regressed in the last few months. :sigh:

cheers, Chris Maunder

OK - I'm not going to hunt you down and kill you. But just be warned.:laugh:

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

John M Drescher

10% scored higher (more nerdy), 1% scored the same, and 89% scored lower (less nerdy). And I was expecting a 67% or something like that...

You realize that now everyone knows you have cracked software on your computer, right? :) And that you ticked yourself as a Unix guy when you run the largest non-MSDN Microsoft dev web site on the planet. :rolleyes:

62% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
37% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

I find it far more likely that both of you simply scored above 99.5% and that round to nearest was used not that you actually hit the highest score yet. :doh:

Hmmm... when I read the question, I interpreted it as: 'have you ever cracked software on your computer', not 'do you currently have cracked software on your computer'. If we can't UNDERSTAND plain English, how can we doing anything ELSE with it? :laugh:

so do I, based on the number of questions, you can't get too fine of a result.... but it still gave me a chance to deflect my score, so I rolled the dice and made the saving throw... I guess I missed huh? ;)

I should have known Chris would usurp me in nerdiness. I'm only 99% Oh well. I'll have to work on that. Sorry Chris nothing personal. I just want my Crown back.

Definitely something wrong with that test. I scored 99%. I'm not *that* nerdy, am I? (asks Magic 8 ball)

I voted VB BASIC but my second choice would have been COBOL.

At the question with the Fermium I noticed that I took the test already (once upon time). But it looks like I'm even less geeky than back then. At least on the surface. 91%. Ah well.
