i got 55

55% scored higher (more nerdy), and
45% 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.

and no, i dont know who they are. but I guessed the first pic einstein and the sec issac newton. I dont know who the girl is though..

..I got an 87...

I even answered truthfully. I answered a lot of "Going out on friday nights with friends", "Don't know the periodic table at all", "Only taken Calc so far", etc.. and still got that. :oops:

Hmm... 86... not good at all. I had to put down "Read a good book" for "What does your Friday night consist of?" because I don't go out... I spend the evening programming. >.>

i've got a 94. you've only beat me by a little.

what's funny is that i don't deserve this score. i'm the coolest of all my friends. fat boys (not a fan), jocks, nerds, hip hop kids and yet i'm more nerdy? c'mon! i go out friday nights.

because i read and know stuff doesn't make me this nerdy.

this is over whelming.

Overall, you scored as follows:

21% scored higher (more nerdy), and
79% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Mid-Level Nerd. Wow, it takes a lot of hard nerdy practice to reach this level.

I am so glad I'm not the nerdiest! In fact, at only 86 I'd say I was borderline cool...Image

This is obviously the result of me not spending enough time drinking beer and chasing women. :oops:

Oddly enough I just took that test the other day...

I didn't know who any of those guys were except Newton, but I used Google and cheated...

I answered BASIC wasn't a real programming language :P Although technically I think Assmebler (if I remember correctly?) is actually the non-programming language or atleast the one that doesn't fit in...as I suppose it's still programming... :P

Anyways my score was 91 or something...but like I said I cheated :)

Actually, there are quite some assembler languages... I even once wrote my own bootloader ;) (Well, it only said 'hello world' :p)

Assembly on the other hand, is (afaik) not a programming language...
