Because knowing is half the battle.

I'm clearly a nerd by those metrics. I can sleep soundly now.

I watch Star Wars and Know who Tony Starks is.

What does that make me

TMLPatrick

I don't know that I buy it completely.... but its ok. As long as you're not a "dork" you're fine.

jecka31

I've always been a Nerd and proud of it. This just solidified that I was calling myself the right term!

victoria233

Im a geek - 110%

quigonnjae

Not sure what to think of this .. according to this im a half breed
1/2 nerd / 1/2 geek...

TheDoctor90

Squarely both.

tadbiggs

Damn, I must be a hybrid because my wife definitely isn't a nerd.

tageekly

:bigsmile: I'm a little of both, but I already knew that. I totally identify with my geekdom more (as evidenced by my username). GEEKS RULE!

TundraTed

Now I know.... I am a Geek! My wife will be so happy!

Pams_Shadow

Geek... dang near to a T

tadbiggs

A little ironic that all the hybrid/half breeds posted at teh same time.... hmmmmmmm:noway:

There are only 10 types of people in this world...those who understand binary and those who dont.

TMLPatrick

Yeah there's a Geek<--->Nerd<--->Dork spectrum..... very few people are just one of the 3. And almost nobody on earth doesn't fall into 1 of the categories.

I don't get it.

Funny and informative. I on the nerd side.

Destinie589

I'm mostly a geek with a little bit of nerd blood.

Oh and I think Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory is kind of sexy :blushing:

Jovialation

Im insulted by this.

WILL FERRELL? Ugh. Nerds and geeks alike should NOT like this guy.


Also - the rest of it is pretty insulting. Whoever made it is a wannabe geek/nerd. Or a jock. I dont get it.

booooooooooooooooo

AmberMagdalena

Nerds are HOT

MissO﹠A

Nerd. Though I lose points on not liking The Matrix.

I also tend to agree with you about the inaccuracy of the infographic. To me a geek is a socially acceptable (almost wannabe) nerd. I find nerds to be unable to interface with humans. Many "geeks" think that because their love for a certain niche (see Firefly, Battlestar Galatica, Star Trek, etc), that makes them a geek. Labels are what you make of them, but I have known some true nerds and they made me uncomfortable.

I blame Big Bang Theory for the current "trend" of calling oneself a geek.

Its obnoxious.
