Nerd, Geek or Dork

The Classic Dames Test was linked on Note Songs and I love those kinds of thing so I took it and got Rosalind Russell. Then, of course, I had to take a few more tests, including The Nerd, Geek or Dork? one. I knew I wasn't a nerd -- "Revenge of the Nerds" pretty much clarified that for me years ago -- but I figured I was a geek and was hoping I wouldn't get dork. My results were 43% Nerd, 35% Geek, 17% Dork. Wanna know the difference? Take the test.

Take The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test at HelloQuizzy.

Someone Stop Me Before I Start With the 80's

I have a feeling I'm going to be at this site for hours and hours. I just took a bunch of quizzes based on matching actors to their tv shows from the 70's. Now I'm moving on to music.

I scored 100%!

I got 10 out of 10 correct on the Songs from 1970 #2 quiz.
