Nerd, Geek, or Dork?

This past Sunday after Canaan's Worship in the Park event, Joy made the comment that I was a nerd (I forget the context or what prompted it). In mild self-defense, I claimed that I was a geek, not a nerd, and then challenged her to define it. Well, through the power of the internets, I guess she's off the hook, since this quiz can define it for me!

Pure Nerd 69 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 39% Dork

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 in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. 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.

While I sorta protest... I guess I kinda know in my heart of hearts that I'm somewhat nerdy. After all, at bowling on Tuesday, I attempted to explain to Hanlin that he should use the heaviest bowling ball he can handle by mentioning "F = ma". So... yeah.
