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

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

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

    :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!

    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'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:

    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

    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.
