Looks Like Brownie is a Modern Cool Nerd
Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd
82 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 43% 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)!
Congratulations!

for me. sadly, with a background in both protein biochemistry and computer programming, i clean up on any tests that require technical knowledge, and being an avid comic book reader when i was young always brings bonus nerd points.
time to go for a bikride in the park...

Finally, "Ganesh" has gotten a higher score than me. Although, I was still high enough to qualify for Pure Nerd. It's ok I wear it like a charm. ;)

Wow, you got me beat on being a Nerd. And as for copying and pasting comments, I noticed that, too but do appreciate the effort. Perhaps our own group blog? Who knows. But hope you enjoyed your bike ride :-).

Pure and Modern Nerds Unite! :-)

Girl, did you start up your One Bar Per Day excursions without me? Maybe that's why you don't remember posting that comment-j/k :-).
