which is pretty unnerdy for a programmer, (although I'm just a web programmer, not a real programmer).

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...

9. Here is the result of your Nerd Purity Test... |
|
. You answered "yes" to 14 of 100 questions, making you 86.0% nerd pure (14.0% nerd corrupt); that is, you are 86.0% pure in the nerd domain (you have 14.0% nerd in you). Your Weirdness Factor (AKA Uniqueness Factor) is 26%, based on a comparison of your test results with 378675 other submissions for this test.
The average purity for this test is 73.7%.

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.

...so only 28% nerd inside me. Wow...if they had asked more non-computer related questions...I'd have been nerdier.

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!

Hey, I guess I'm not as geeky as I thought (although many of you may feel differently)...

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.
