Nerd test thing

http://people.alfred.edu/~rmc1/social.html

Doesnt quite work perfectly, but still fun…

lol, it doesnt help that you have to be a nerd to understand the results! :wink:

That was fun :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m 59.0% socially_retarded pure (41.0% socially_retarded corrupt)… whatever that meant

yeah, I got 81% socially_retarded pure… does that mean I’m cool or what? :slight_smile:

Do you have more than 1 sn?
What’s an sn??

79% socially_retarded pure. :beam:

I got stuck on the same question Ilyas. :stuck_out_tongue:

beat you! (I think…)

:stuck_out_tongue:

Some of the questions dont really work. Like Have you ever been on a date? Well, if you answer yes, then then number should go down, not up. :-\

Just. :slight_smile:

But some of those questions weren’t English enough, I mean, we don’t have ‘proms’ over here when you leave school. At least I didn’t…

What does your % purity mean?
I have received several complaints that the purity test program does not appear to be calculating purity correctly. These come from users who expect that answering yes to more questions will result in a higher purity. This is a result of confusion about the meaning of the term purity. As applied to the results of a purity test, your purity is proportional to how many things in the domain of the test you have not done. The more you have done, the less pure (and more corrupt) you are in the test’s domain. In other words, the foo test tells you how pure/uncorrupt you are in the domain of fooity, not how purely foo you are. If the nerd test tells you you’re 99% nerd pure, it does not mean you’re 99% pure nerd (ack!)
I think the higher the number… generally speaking… the cooler you are… I think…

I’m not a nerd… so I can’t tell :wink:

Yeah, that paragraph is unclear :stuck_out_tongue: We probably have a different idea of nerdity…

Oh, and what exactly is a MOS? [size=1]Hang in there, Claudio, we’re gonna get them[/size]

Member of Society… I think :slight_smile:

Ilyas, i also couldnt understand what a MOS is
:stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:
morse, you should have provided a nerd dictionary!

sn = screenname (for programs like MSN and AIM)

You answered “yes” to 20 of 100 questions, making you 80.0% socially_retarded pure (20.0% socially_retarded corrupt).

I don’t want to be purely or corruptly retarded. :*(

if you dont answer any questions (which I assume is more cool/less nerdy…) then you get 100% socially_retarded pure. So… I can only imagine the lower the percentage, the less nerdy?

shrugs

Here is the result of your Socially_Retarded Purity Test.
You answered “yes” to 19 of 100 questions, making you 81.0% socially_retarded pure (19.0% socially_retarded corrupt).

does that make me the coolest one here then?

You answered “yes” to 11 of 100 questions, making you 89.0% socially_retarded pure (11.0% socially_retarded corrupt).

so I’m am amazingly cool, yes?
