[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]46% scored higher (more nerdy), and
54% scored lower (less nerdy).

That's about what I expected! If I was just out of high school, this would be higher! I did ok in chemistry, but don't remember my elelments like I used to. = ) I have always been a "shadow nerd." I liked girls too much I guess. - . - Hey, I carried a portable chess board (later an *electronic* board!) all through middle school and up through the end of tenth grade in high school and played almost every day. This definitely deserves bonus points! And I used to have (until my ex girlfriend recorded over them...that's why she's "ex" heh heh) all Star Trek TNG recorded on VHS with *handwritten* labels with all the episode names. Nerdy? You're darn skippy! But I weat motorcycle boots. That's *never* nerdy...
But I'm rambling! That's nerdy!
Ok, I'm done now. : P

Hmmm HS was very lame. When my teachers were not on strike, they were literally sitting behind their desk picking their noses. I learnt so much more AFTER I got out of that stinking place. Smart means nothing, we all have our gifts. School sets it's worldly standard with what is smart/nerdy and what is not, and I've met teachers that could not think their way out of a paper bag. Study your Bible a lot? You may qualify for a masters degree (or better) in the sight of God.

Same here, it's magnetized and I still have it. Have not played chess in years and years though. I started playing D&D in MS and into HS so chess kinda vanished for me. I don't play P&P AD&D any more but that is what MUD's/mmorpg's are for ;)

Star Trek TNG recorded on VHS with *handwritten* labels with all the episode names.
I have all the movies, the set is well worth it. I used to record Babylon 5 onto my computer with my TV card and format them onto CD's. I agree with Leonard Nimoy that Bab5 was much better than the Star Treks. I'm disappointed though that UPN is canceling Enterprise though.

But I weat motorcycle boots.

Most of the time my boots are resting on my pegs when I have them on, but I have motorcycle boots too. Being a full time rider, I tend to have them on a lot.

Something that takes on an entirely new meaning with the abysmal 3rd Ed. Izards of the Coast really have something to answer for from us 1st Ed geeks.

BT, I still have ALL the original 1st Ed manuals - including the Fiend Folio and Deities & Demigods.

HAHA
Anyway, nah we wound up throwing out the rule book mostly and made new rules for our own games. We stripped away the pagan stuff and created our own way of doing it. Wow I bet I still have all my old maps, rule sets and generators on some old 5 1/4 floppies.

I used to have most of those...they got ripped to shreads! Especially the Player's Handbook...

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.
Go watch Revenge of the Nerds and Real Genius a few hundred times to boost your score! ; )

Well...since I don't care for maths and chemistry at all, I can't expect to be as nerdy as some of you :) At least this was kind of fun!
We'll give out honorary nerd points to girls...we need more of them!

Only if we're allowed to plaster our walls with graphing paper! ; )

Sure but you need to make the graph paper yourself like I do LOL. I don't plaster it of course. I'm not nerdy though, just creative. You know the trick to boosting your cognitive power? Turn down that mind numbing hard music once in a while and pop in a Mozart CD. Eight hours of sleep a night helps a lot too.

You're right. It took me a while to realize, but sleeping and a lil peace and quiet goes a loooog way. ; ) I think I'm more creative then nerdy too. I've written too much poetry to be a true nerd. Actually, here's one thing I wrote that is more than a bit nerdy:
12 Days of XP (sing it like the 12 Days of Christmas!)



  • A shrink-wrapped Windows XP.
  • More memory.
  • An ugly Welcome screen.
  • Forced Activation.
  • Five hours on hold!
  • A jumbo shot of NyQuil
  • Way too many updates.
  • A ****** firewall.
  • Another trojan worm.
  • IE Version 6.
  • No tabbed browsing.[font=&quot][/font]
  • [font=&quot]A tacky Start menu.[/font]
