    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:

      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:

      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? ;)

                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.

                      Think of it: Only nerds would ever do this test completely, so it's probably rigged. Hey, I said I go out with friends on friday night, and I still got 91%!

                            Definitely a nerd but low on the totem pole of nerds We nerds know that the most important/powerful entities are on the bottom of the totem ploe.

                                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:

                                  Damn:( 48% scored higher (more nerdy), 1% scored the same, and 51% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers. I'm not worried though:). Wait until the world is run by technology, then no-one can say they aren't a little bit nerdy.

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

                                        Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

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