    concise, to the point and only understood by a technical person. My guess, it was done by a Geek. LOL.

        Take the test and find out. According to that, I am a nerd.

          This is the only Venn diagram I understand. I'm a total geek.

              Quite honestly, I am shocked. I always figured myself to be somewhere between a Nerd and a Geek, yet taking the test:


              Joe Normal

              35 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 48% Dork

              She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.

                The test says I'm Joe Normal (they don't know me very well, do they?). So much for the credibility of this test...

                    Heather doesn't answer e-mails any more... (I think I may have had something to do with this... )
