Okay. Here's the deal. Anybody who calls themself a Flooge is officially a geek. That's just how it's going to work. 😆

39 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 17% Dork

🙁 ......... i'm only 95% complete...... 😐

You scored higher than 17% on nerdiness

You scored higher than 53% on geekosity

You scored higher than 17% on dork points

Pure Nerd
73 % Nerd, 21% Geek, 47% 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, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!

I'm not sure a typical comic book reader can be a nerd or geek. Basically a comic book reader who is willing to get on a forum and talk about them is an awkward area.
Unlike many other medias or specific geekdom or nerdom meadiums comic books are genreally approached and excepted by many types of peoples.

While I cinsider myself a bit of a nerd and geek I'm fairly smart and I love Sci-Fi especially Star Wars and I love comics. I like to write stories and other things.

The main reason though I say comic books can't be placed in the realm of nerdom or geekness is this. I muself am not the typical person who reads comics. I happen to be a 250 pound college football player who is interested and loves to play sports.
What I have found while criusing these forums is that alot of people on this forum is also into many other things not considered to be nerdy or geeky. Like lifting, cars, Drinking(Scoob) and thus we are a melting pot of different people who just happen to like comics and enjoy talking about them with other comic book readers.

Amen brother. I had to quit my comic reading through HS and college because I played sports and was in the "it" crowd. Now, most of my friends can't believe that I read comics.

I, for one, have never been in the "it" crowd. (whatever that means)
But I've never been a geek or nerd either. I used to be the lead singer in a band. I'm the head of a drama theatre. I used to teach people how to do feats of strength. I play the guitar, mandolin, banjo, autoharp and I sing. I write plays, direct plays, and act in them (when I have to).

I also read a lot of comics.

Therefore I'm a comic book geek. I don't see how that works.

You scored better than half in Dork, earning you the title of: Pure Dork. Like our friends Napoleon Dynamite & co.

It's not as though you were some whiz-kid in school. Oh, sure, you probably did okay in some classes, but were probably awful in others. Certainly most people thought you were smarter than you thought yourself to be. And it's not that you have some overriding passion, like computers or Star Trek that sets you apart for the crowd, though you likely share some interest in some of those sorts of things. You just like to be yourself, and want to express yourself for who you are.

And, really, there's nothing wrong with that. Being who you are often invites scorn, and so it's a difficult thing in a world that rewards conformity. Be proud of your dorkiness, for often it's just another word for individuality. (I'd vote for you!)

Congratulations!

Yeah, I just read the descriptionb and tghat is 100% not me... the answers were unclear... LOL!

Meh , I slammed the it crowd.

😎 I was the opposite of the "it" crwod... well, I was a bout half-and-half... except most folks got pissed at me for my sarcastic sense of humour... 😈

Nah, i was and probably still in the "It" crowd, mainly because im funny; despite the fact that none of them know I read comics, I havent hid it, no-one ever asked. Always was really popular, but I've had like about the same amount of people that hate me 😎
