Phil, I’m a mid-level nerd too! But you beat me; I only scored 71.
Now, if there were a test for relationship geek … well, your score would be out of the ballpark! (mixed metaphors, but you know what I mean LOL)
Connie – Glad to hear I’m nerdier than someone
Thanks for the shout about the relationship geek test. You’d do well on that one too no doubt.
Perhaps I’ll make one of those…Hmmm….Interesting
How Nerdy Are You?
Okay, this one’s hilarious. Apparently I am a bit more of a nerd than Phil Gerbyshak, but then again, I could have told you that. What’s your nerd score? Thanks for the link, Phil!…
Apparently you just barely missed “High-Nerd.” (That’s my ranking at 80.) I’m betting you missed out because of the friends questions.
Hey there EM!!!
Yeah, if I had more friends, I would have scored higher, or is it lower?
Fun stuff! Thanks for playing along. You’re one of my favorite “nerdy” friends, and I mean that in the coolest possible way!
I’m NOT a Geek!
I’m less nerdy than Phil Gerbyshak! But unlike Phil I was trying to prove that I WASN’T a nerd (geek or whatever you’d like to call it).
I got a 92. I think it was because I use an RPN calculator and am pretty good with the Periodic Table?
Fun stuff, Phil – Great work!

I got a 92. Maybe it corresponded to Mn = Maganese and not Minnesota?
Dwayne and Michael – Y’all are too nerdy for me! Thanks for playing along!
Hey Phil,
So I just had to take the test and see how nerdy I am, and I know my kids wouldn’t be surprised! I came out at 97. Wow! Didn’t realize I was that nerdy… must be that EECS background which enabled me to answer so many nerdy questions (RPN calculator, programming languages, chemistry, etc.).
The real question is, am I proud of this fact or embarrassed??
Becky – VERY funny. I can’t answer your question for you. Proud…embarassed…Both work for me. And I won’t tell more than a few thousand people. I promise!
I got an 82% on the test which makes me a high-level nerd! I already knew this… I’m the type of person that nearly hyperventilates while watching videos for new technology. In fact, I posted about Microsoft Surface on my blog the other day… Goodness, I better go get a paper bag! I’m getting excited about it again!
Thanks for the fun test – what a great idea.

Erin – Microsoft Surface is pretty darn cool. I’m excited about it too. Does that make me a nerd? Oh well
At least I’m in good company with you.
