The fact that you have the urge to quibble over this says that you're at least a word geek.

Me too.

Nah, I just cried into my pillow and shredded my "Dorks Rule" tshirt.

Can I borrow your "Nerds Rule" tshirt?

turns out i'm not a nerd 😛

55% scored higher (more nerdy),
2% scored the same, and
43% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.

And Lightly Nerdy in the other one. 😕

I may have had good academic results but I am and have always been quite social. When reading these test, sometimes I had the feeling that the test-makers thought that was impossible.

Bãh!

Edit - Or maybe it's me that doesn't think nerds can be social. Mmm...

79% scored higher (more nerdy),
2% scored the same, and
19% scored lower (less nerdy).

Not nerdy, but then again maybe not all that cool either.
