    I answered yes 57 times, so I guess that's 28.5% for me. Some of the that you'd answer yes to seem to be the opposite of a stereotypical nerd, though. Matching socks? Not owning the latest computer equipment?

      ****in' fail right there. I may be a ___%, but they're a 0%.
      Agreed.

        Well too get a score of zero you should have socks that don't match. That seems right. That would mean you are the least nerdy person possible.

          I personally know nerds who wear only one sock on occasion or two completely random socks. The nerd is not automatically anal retentive. Many seem more fascinated by code and mathematics than how they dress as long as the clothes don't smell bad.

            True dat, but those guys aren't as nerdy as the guys who actually try to dress appropriately, but ultimately fail.

              A disappointing 47%. And how the hell does the fact I didn't get a crappy verbal score on my SAT's mean I'm not a nerd? And a true nerd is gonna make at least 1400-1500 combined on the SAT's, 1200 is low.

                  Taking it now. One have to be nerd to even find the thing. So far I'm doing "good" I think, but several of the questions are very America-centric. All these teams...we don't have such things in school over here. And all the TV questions are all too much centered around the US.

                    14.5%

                    But as said, lots of the questions did not fit how things are over here. What's a SAT?

                      Correct. That's what the graph indicates.

                        And the TV questions were indeed US centric. Also they were old-people centric. Some of those shows I believe were from the 50's, many were from the 60's.

                            I see. Yet another sign that the test is very US centric. We don't have such a test system here.

                            But screw the test, the rest of the site is amazing. Love Lowe.

                              The last time I did this I got over 60%. I probably have gained a few points since then.

                                I didnt take the test (I'm a lot of things, but nerd isnt one of them ), so I didnt see the graph.
