I scored 95. About 30 points higher than last time, but since then
I've taken lots of calculus and linear algebra, and gotten some
serious hardware upgrades.
I will sleep better at night knowing that I am growing up... :p

Overall, you scored as follows:
2% scored higher (more nerdy), and
98% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!!
Thats a good thing right?
I got an 83... telling me to register
I got:
8% scored higher (more nerdy), and
92% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
Supreme Nerd. Apply for a professorship at MIT now!!!.
I always wanted to go to MIT. Too bad they don't accept this for an
application...

Crap, I got a 53 :( Honestly, most of the ones that had real nerd
answers I didn't giv
irst in line to LOTR were opportunists. I was there,
you
know. It's the second and third ... and fiftieth in line you have to
worry about.
If you've read every book, I don't think geek or nerd is quite
enough to
describe you. Maybe omniscient would come closer.

Nerd = someone who's inordinately knowledgeable in a subject of some
sort
(can be things as disparate as computers, movies, music, sports, opera,
etc)
Geek = someone who thinks he's a Ne

Yeah, that is the view I have as well.

Remember, though, these are the definitions *I* use -- if you call
yourself nerd, don't worry that I'm going to think less of you,
because your definition of nerd may match my definition of geek. You
only have to worry about my opinion of you if *I* call you a nerd. And
