3. 55% Nerd Pure
which is pretty unnerdy for a programmer, (although I'm just a web programmer, not a real programmer).

7. 55% nerd pure
I think if this test took out "have you ever" and replaced it with "have you recently," I'd be a lot purer. I created a BASIC computer-dating program on my dad's Apple IIe when I was in fifth grade. I wouldn't be able to do it now, in BASIC, HTML (the only thing remotely resembling computer programming that I now have some knowledge of) or otherwise...

10. 74% Nerd!
Edited on Fri Dec-12-03 10:33 AM by SheilaT
And I'm a middleaged woman who doesn't program anything. I shudder to think how my two geeky sons would score.

on edit: My weirdness factor is only 26%, which is a relief.

a sense of style helps fight the image, i guess. considering that i prefer binary candle counts on birthday cakes, i thought my score would be higher!

19. I couldn't finish the test
because I was too bothered by question #26:

"Have you ever programmed a computer with someone of the appropriate (either or both, your choice) sex (besides your consultant)?"

WTF is the "appropriate sex?"

Yes, I'm more of a language nerd than a math/computer nerd.

22. 92% nerd in me, 8% nerd pure, 68% weird.
At least they didn't ask me about computer center folk songs, or we would have gotten some extra credit.
