This is a 500 question test to see what percent nerd you are. I would make sure that you have at least 20 to 30 minutes to take this monster. Haha.

Just so you know, I answered yes to 243 questions, making me 48.8% nerd.

You answered "yes" to 165 of 500 questions,
making you 33% nerd (67% non-nerd);
that is, you are 33% in the nerd domain
(your purity is 67%).

Thanks. It's nice to be missed. But I guess I won't be able to post as much as I would like this semester. The classes are far more difficult than I expected. For example, I spent 6 hours on my differential equations homework. And that's just one class. Fuck. D'oh well. I know I'll manage. Anyway, I'll try to put off as much of my homework as possible so I can spend some more TIMe here.

Ask the questions over the phone? That'll be at least a 30 minute conversation.

It's OK, we like to chat on the phone. I just won't tell her how many questions there are before we start. HEHE Anyway, they really don't take that long, I didn't think. They go pretty quick. I just remember reading them thinking, "I bet Teri would have answered yes to that." I bet she has a pretty high NERD quotiant. It's OK, I still think she's pretty KEWL(for a nerd).

I tried calling her a bunch of TIMes, but our schedules are so at odds, we haven't connected. I see she is on the board right now so hopefully she will take the TIMe to answer these. Inquiring Minds want to know!!! TTT for Tericee!!

I've been bested by pcbTIM! He probably played D&D or something -- or he knows more of those constants than I do because he's still using them in his classes. The only ones I could remember were Avagadro's number, gravity and Pi.

Score: 220
Percent impurity: 44
Percent purity: 56
Explanation: You answered "yes" to 220 of 500 questions,
making you 44% nerd (56% non-nerd); that is, you are 44% in the nerd domain (your purity is 56%).

I think the test needs to be updated; I took it back in college before the WWW was invented and many of the questions are still the same. Does anybody really think it's nerdy to have a cell phone?

BTW, if you want to see Full Frontal Nerdity at its best, visit my friend Dan's page. He's a nerd through and through!

Hey Teri, We have all been waiting for your score! Looks like pcbTIM scored slightly better, hummmmm Wonder if it has to do with that California air???? Or warm weather!!!!hehe

I got bored half way through. I never was very good at tests. When I took the SAT's I got bored and started making "Pretty designs" with the dots....and still managed to get a pretty good score!

Yeah, when Fluffy called me at 1:30AM on Saturday/Sunday to tell me his AIDS Marathon fundraising was going really well, he mentioned that I needed to get on here and do the test. I know I have taken it before, but have no clue what my earlier score was.

I also thought it was too long, but I made sure to do the whole thing. The original Baker House Purity Test was only 100 questions so it was much easier to finish.

Just for fun, here are the shortest and longest purity tests I could find online:

Shortest: THE UNISEX, OMNISEXUAL PURITY TEST

Longest: THE UNISEX PURITY TEST, VERSION 7.0c

HOLY CRAP! My roommate asked me all the questions...I thought I'd get off scot-free. Goddamn 232. I'm 46% nerd. But you know what? The non-nerd 54% still manages to get me laid. God bless that 54%.

Oh God no! I've never played D&D before. It must be all the constants because, as you said, I'm still using them in my classes. But it looks like no one here has a majority of nerd. I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed. And speaking of Pi, just for the fun of it, I can recite it to 36 places.......

3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

That's gotta boost me above 50% nerd.

I doubt that it's the California air. If anything, I would bet that all the pollutants would make me dumber.

Wow. I don't think I've ever done that. Occassionally, if I didn't know the answer, I woul just look at my scantron and see which letter hadn't been used in a while. But looking back on the SATs, they were not as big a deal as everyone else said.

pcbTIM, were you able to answer yes to the Math score 300 point more than the Verbal score question? I'm assuming your total SAT was greater than 1200...

I got a 1270 on the SATs. I got a 690 in Math and a 480 in English. Hmmmmmm.......I wonder what my strength is? But no, I wasn't able to answer yes to that question. Although, I wish I was able to keep my PSAT math score: 770.
