I think thats the only result it gives, unless you select the n00b-ish spelt answers. Cause I did the test twice and got the same result???

[Mark30001]

are you a n00b? (http://www.youthink.com/quiz.asp?action=take&quiz_id=1148)

Finally someone who agrees^_^

[cal360]

Sorry Vampbri-n your still a n00b as you don't use proper English :D.

[VampDude]

He is a n00b, and that's just the under statement.

[Safari Al]

lol theres no good answer for the nerd test. either you're a nerd or a dork lol

[steve520]

94% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
5% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.


theres my nerd test whats up now who's the coolest.


http://www.nerdtests.com/images/badge/4a0a435574acde78.gif (http://www.nerdtests.com/nq_ref.html)

Result says: "I am nerdier than 5% of all people."

[VampDude]

lol theres no good answer for the nerd test. either you're a nerd or a dork lol

That seems like the point of it, for some reason?

[cal360]

OK i've found a good n00b test go here (http://www.nerdtests.com/mq/take.php?id=5455)

[steve520]

i despise nerds woot i hate u guys. lol

[cal360]

i despise nerds woot i hate u guys. lol

It may seem that the test said i'm a nerd, but at least I have intelligence :D.

[Shrygue]

Nerd tests huh? Maybe I should try this out...


@steve520: I fixed your result image.

[cal360]

I didn't use code for mine except an image tag just use the Image address of the picture.

[Shrygue]

Okay, I have taken the nerd test and it is as follows:


http://www.nerdtests.com/images/badge/3a67f1209ac6e1a7.gif (http://www.nerdtests.com/nq_ref.html)


53% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
46% scored lower (less nerdy).

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

I thought you would've been a nerd too? :(

[Shrygue]

I answered all questions truthfully, no cheating using Google to find out the answers. I didn't figure I would get that result.

[cal360]

I answered all questions truthfully, no cheating using Google to find out the answers. I didn't figure I would get that result.

I didn't even guess the answers I just put in what it told me and I used the knowladge that I have and I got 97%!!!

[VampDude]

I used my knowledge, on the book answers I kinda lied (cause I don't have some of those books on my bookshelf) - but eBooks count! (as they're on my virtual bookshelf) lol :D

[Cap'n 1time]

OK i've found a good n00b test go here (http://www.nerdtests.com/mq/take.php?id=5455)

The noob test is flawed. The answer to "What kind of game is Half life?" Should have been "A terrible game played by 12 year olds and FPS noobs.

LOL but I have to say I like this one

2) If a tree falls in the forest and it hits a noob what does he yell?

a) OMG WTF!?!
b) Im that noob
c) Who cares hes dead

[ExcruciationX]

I answered a lot of knowledge based stuff truthfully (except the sci-fi related stuff because I thought that'd boost my score).

http://www.nerdtests.com/images/badge/nt2/eb626b0a929418b2.png
hmmm I was 100% truthful I guess the fact that I actually have a slide rule next to me added 15 points... too bad I only know how to do addition and multiplication on it. I've no clue how the logarithm sides work.


if everyone here is in the high nerd percentages does that mean a lot of people are suckered into taking the test via porn popups or something?? I mean the 'less nerdy' 97% or so must come from somewhere.. right?

The test does not come from porn popups, or at least I don't think it is? As the link to the test has been posted many times here on DCEmu over the past 5 months or so.

[rokobungi]

but all the 'nerd-factor deprived' people have to come from somewhere and it's obviously not from here... ;)

[VampDude]

I was here before the tests were, I think they were originally posted in the JUNK forum...

...So if you see who posted them originally, ask them (I don't know - I think it was Ex)

All the people who feel stupid for scoring poorly simply don't post their results?

[steve520]

omg i cant believe it am i the only retarded one and the coolest lol.

[Tetris999]

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=520204&postcount=8

I scored a higher average with lower dork score than anyone else here.

its probably cuz you answer those questions about drinking beer and stuff, since im one of those people who "dun do it" i get a dorky score :mad:

and most of the questions were about starwars and stuff like how am i supposed to know! :p

I hate to burst your bubble dude, but the one test I didn't do and have just done I received a score of 100% :D

(proof below)

[quzar]

That's the simplistic v1 test. We were all taking v2 because it is far superior. Also, that doesn't erase the shame of your claim that I hadn't taken it when I had posted much earlier in the thread my results.

[VampDude]

v2.0 asks slightly more complicated questions, and the only on I've done up until 30 minutes ago. v1 is a piss in the park (which I never knew before), but on both nerd tests I've scored highly.

Version 1

Not even close! (since v1 doesn't count) lmao :D

[quzar]

How do you figure? 96-96-98-96 > 98-98-93-72

[VampDude]

How do you figure? 96-96-98-96 > 98-98-93-72

I have no idea?

But... (below) Which I'm still confused? (I think the red bar decides)

[quzar]

The reason the bar is red is because it's a negative thing.

[Tetris999]

The reason the bar is red is because it's a negative thing.

lets hope its a good thing for my case :p

[VampDude]

The reason the bar is red is because it's a negative thing.

I've joined the NerdTest.com forum and asked, now I have to wait until I get a reply - I think your wrong thou, cause the site admin there are happy with their scores being really high in the 90's and red (and it is their test) ???

[ExcruciationX]

I think I did post the nerd test first, now that I think about it...

[Vampbri-n]

Sorry Vampbri-n your still a n00b as you don't use proper English :D.

meh who needs it.:rofl:

[cal360]

So far I guess i'm the nerdiest of us all then :D.

Truthfully taken.

[cal360]

I'm the ultimate NERD yay :D.

[VampDude]

So far I guess i'm the nerdiest of us all then :D.

On version 1, I'm the nerdiest (try and beat 100) :D

On version 2, I'm 2 points behind you :)

You got the same score on both tests, my differential of the two is 5 :p

Er.. no? Haha who are those? 100% of everything?

Nah, it's not for the people with 100%...

I think you were the only one who didn't understand that "dumb/dork/awkward" was a bad thing to be (although your high score in that category might be to blame :P).

So in the end, I supposed I did win. yay?

A few people on WLM (LiveMessenger) didn't know what the red bar meant either, they got DUMB scores...


...My score in the 95% was me being classed as AWKWARD, your 60% classes you as being a DORK - any less than DORK you would be in the DUMB category, so technically it's not too bad (for me) :D

I'm going to buy a lightsabre to make my score go higher... no... better... im going to make one out of old soup cans and flash lights.

[VampDude]

Nothing changes the fact that your test results said that your a DORK, and yes English is my native language!

From what I can make out've the DUMB/DORK/AWKWARD score, DUMB is the least and AWKWARD is the most.

DUMB is: 0-40
DORK is: 40-80 (you scored 60, which is the halfway)
AWKWARD is: 80-100

That's not the way foward slashes work in this context. Given their previous use for things like History/Literature it's obvious that the slashes mean that it is a percentail of those combined sets. I really hope you're not trying to be serious when you claim otherwise.

Very true, in fact I might take the version 2 nerd test. If I do, I will tack up my results here in this thread.

My new v2.0 score, it took me a while to do it this time (29 minutes). Using my brain (which is usually switched off) to think about the answers properly when answering, unlike last time I rushed it (less than 20).

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n304/vampdude/2e98a5eec2274a7d.png

Such a pity that being in the "Awkward" category is a bad thing (according to Quzar) :(

[quzar]

Such a pity that being in the "Awkward" category is a bad thing (according to Quzar) :(

You still don't seem to understand. The category is not "dumb or dork or awkward" it is Dumb/Dork/Awdkward. It shows what percent of that amalgamated category you are.

[VampDude]

You still don't seem to understand. The category is not "dumb or dork or awkward" it is Dumb/Dork/Awdkward. It shows what percent of that amalgamated category you are.

It still makes no sense if they are combined thou, I think there is something wrong with the test if it's not "dumb" "dork" or "awkward" set separately like how I see it should be. Because "dumb" does not even categorize into the other two? I like my theory better although it's wrong, as dumb has no real place in the scores that I've received from the test and I don't feel it should be in the amalgamated/combined category section.

I have no idea how they decide the outcome of this test, because I just took approximately 2 minutes answering the questions wrong on purpose and the red bar is 99%. There is something really messed up with the test, I scored higher than this (below)...

http://www.nerdtests.com/images/badge/nt2/6f29218efe9f0e68.png

...And my red bar is 6 less (below)

With a score of 100 99 98 99, my red bar should be non-existent or at least half (like yours) if the red bar is a bad thing ???

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n304/vampdude/2e98a5eec2274a7d.png

It's messed up! :mad:

[quzar]

Dumb is a distinct thing from ignorant or unknowledgeable. The latter two indicate a lack of facts, which is indicated by low scores on the first 4 things. The former is synonymous with stupid, and indicates "Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes".

That definition fits in well with both Dork and Awkward. The problem could stem from the fact that the american colloquial use of the word dumb comes from the german (dumm, which literally means stupid), where you might be thinking of the use of dumb to mean something along the lines of retarded or mute.

[Cap'n 1time]

I think it just means mute whale penis. You're all wrong.

Dumb is stupid and/or slightly retarded thou.

Words' historical meanings matter
Mike Kaplan, GRS '04
Issue date: 4/9/03 Section: Opinion

Robyn Burgess says, "In this age of enlightenment, it is no longer acceptable to call anyone who was previously labeled retarded as retarded," as we have other more specific and socially acceptable terminology to utilize now ("Meaning of 'retarded' has changed," April 7, pg. 8). She goes on to ask, "Why can't we make use of a word that is no longer needed for its original perceived intention of 'retarded?'"

Pardon my incredulity, but what would happen if we replaced "retarded" with "ni**er" in that line of thinking? In this age of enlightenment, it is no longer acceptable to call anyone who was previously labeled as a ni**er a ni**er, so why can't we make use of a word ... The reason some still take offense at the use of "retarded," even when not describing differently-abled people (if that's the lingo of the day), is that the word still brings up the offensive connotations of the word's meaning. When people say something is retarded, they mean it's dumb, which is certainly not a far stretch from the original intention attached to the word "retarded."

Ms. Burgess concludes that "words are just words, and they can mean whatever you want them to mean." I don't know if this seems inane only to me, to suggest that words are not some of the most powerful tools that we as humans possess. If it is indeed so that words can mean whatever we want then allow me to conclude monkey fish pajama.

[quzar]

Like I said, colloquial American english uses it interchangably with stupid, as opposed to it's proper meanings.

[VampDude]

Like I said, colloquial American english uses it interchangably with stupid, as opposed to it's proper meanings.

Which is along the lines of the word dumb being retarded.
