Tracking the Elusive Nihilixus Minnesotanus

In an attempt to live up to the praise of Mark (see new subhead), I've decided to reveal some deep details of who I am.

First, this thingy I picked up from Some Watery Tart, who also posts at Shakespeare's Sister:

Modern, Cool Nerd 73 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 26% 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 and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd. Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)! Congratulations! Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 82% on nerdiness You scored higher than 83% on geekosity You scored higher than 40% on dork points

Then, we move to the always popular Political Compass:

The Political Compass

Economic Left/Right: -9.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.59

which just goes to show I'm a raging anarcho-syndicalist. Who knew?
