I got:

Modern, Cool Nerd
78 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 26% 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 and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

This is not good for me. Really feeds into my self-obsession.

Joe Normal

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 less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal.

This is not to say that you don't have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you--we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast.

I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal.

Congratulations!

If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback!

Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in either of the following:

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.

Would it be outrageously nerdy of me to suggest that this test is ludicrously biased towards nerdiness? Almost everybody who has posted here is either 'nerd' or 'normal'. (Or perhaps it's just that nerds are far more likely to take the test and / or post the results!)

(I don't get the percentages. Looks to me like I would be more of a dork statistically, but then wondering about that probably makes me a nerd...)

I don't need a test; I'm a geek.
I'm sitting here in my computer room amid my Star Trek and Star Wars memorabilia, action figures and such (most of it unopened, of course...that would spoil them), and my collection of superhero toys (unopened). I'm 37, be 38 on Wednesday...I collect toys and comics (not so much the comics anymore...just too damn expensive these days) and try to make a delicate balance that will let me spend as much time as possible on my puter and still stay married (that's hard). GEEKGEEKGEEK!!!
