Snagged from half my flist
Nov. 6th, 2009 09:26 amFunny. I would've expected the "dork" rating to be about the same as the other two, given my perceptions about my own social ineptitude (look, I even have a tag for it!), though apparently this test doesn't care so long as all are above 50% for this result.
Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...
Outcast Genius
83 % Nerd, 87% Geek, 52% 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 all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.

In related news, I let myself get talked into going to a party tonight for my coworker's son's 40th birthday. The one other coworker that I knew was going to go has now hurt her back and may not be going. Me in a room full of people I don't know other than the guest of honor's mother is probably not a great scenario. Especially since I'm still working at midnight and can't really be drinking. There should at least be dancing, but again, if I don't know anyone, not likely to be doing much of that.
Meanwhile, I'd best get cracking on my pharm exam, considering I've only got until midnight to log in and get it done. I hear from those who've already taken it that it's tougher than the last one. Considering that one was a bloody cake walk, I suppose that's not saying much, but apparently most of the questions and their answers aren't to be found in the first sentence or two of any given appropriately-headed section of the book this time. *shrugs* I thought that first one was a bit of a gimme for an open-book test. Considering my level of apathy over grades this semester, it's no surprise I'm not terribly worried. Except, possibly, about the apathy itself, which should probably take down my "nerd" rating a few notches, but oh well.
