Yesterday I was wondering what sort of nerd I am (you know, if I had to label myself). I know that I would definatly be in the nerd genera, but I'm not quite sure as to the species.

Overall, I'm nerdier and geekier than the average person. But I'm less nerdy and geeky than a full-fledged nerd or geek.
What can we call a person who is both a geek and a nerd? A neek? A gerd?
I'm a neek of all trades, master of none.

I've got the solution to both your problems... chromolume March 15 2006, 01:58:08 UTC
...and it's right here!

FYI they define Nerd/Geek/Dork as such:

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.

I especially enjoyed this question:
Do you consider yourself a fan of any of the following: live theatre, Shakespeare, musical theatre, ballet, opera, classical music, poetry, arthouse films, modern art?
...yes, yes, yes, etc. hahaha

I got 78 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 13% Dork. no surprise.
higher than 91% for nerdiness, 63 on geekosity, and 8 on dork points d:

I'm really not a huge nerd! That's why I'm a modern, cool nerd. I'm too nerdy to be cool, but too cool to be nerdy...Duh! So there, you huge nerd!
