Fun Quiz

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...

Modern, Cool Nerd

61 % Nerd, 78% Geek, 48% 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!

You Are a Grace!

mm.grace_.jpg


You are a Grace -- "I need to understand the world."



Graces have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.



How to Get Along with Me

  • * Be independent, not clingy

  • * Speak in a straightforward and brief manner

  • * I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts

  • * Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable

  • * Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity

  • * If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place

  • * don't come on like a bulldozer

  • * Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy




What I Like About Being a Grace
* standing back and viewing life objectively
* coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
* my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
* not being caught up in material possessions and status
* being calm in a crisis



What's Hard About Being a Grace

  • * being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world

  • * feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all

  • * being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be

  • * watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally




Graces as Children Often

  • * spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on

  • * have a few special friends rather than many

  • * are very bright and curious and do well in school

  • * have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers

  • * watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information

  • * assume a poker face in order not to look afraid

  • * are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict

  • * feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected




Graces as Parents

  • * are often kind, perceptive, and devoted

  • * are sometimes authoritarian and demanding

  • * may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate

  • * may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

This makes me wonder about myself and how other percieve me versus how I do. Hmm, maybe I should ask.

Anointing of Dracula

I love the theatre and hate it. It takes so much time to be involved in it but it is very worth it once it's all over. It is now close tech week and the end of my life. We have had rehearsal from every night this week and will do so next week. He's been generous enough to give us Saturday off but tech week officially starts Sunday. Call at 6:30 ending whenever B (the director) wants to let us go. We've even already started using makeup and costumes. I hate getting into and out of the makeup but it is necessary. I really like my role, too. And to make everything great our Dracula is amazing! I can't go into details until after the show starts but he looks great. And the actor is really good as well. I can't wait for the show to start. It will be amazing fun, as long as there aren't any drunk people to bother me. Again*. I apparently have to come up with something witty to say to idiot people who will invariably approach me and attempt to be as stupid as possible.

*Last year at the haunted house, not an actual show but with the theatre club, I was a dead body. For some reason, some of the viewers thought that I should have been moving. So they let the whacking commence. Not to make it sound too bad however, they only whacked my foot. But one can never be too careful with drunk people especially if you don't know if the the people are violent drunks.

Why Girls make better Crossplayers

I noticed at AWA that girls crossplaying the same characters as guys cosplaying were typically better. As an example, a girl crossplaying Link from Zelda:
Link (Thats a girl)

Don't you just love the dedication women make to become men?
