7% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
92% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Here is the ultimate Nerd question. What operating system does your laptop use?

a) Windows
b) OS X
c) Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD/Other UNIX

If its c) then that's really the only question one needs to ask.

yeah, I blew that one, but I knew I was blowing it. I'm curious as to what my husband would get if he took this. Of course, he's so much of a nerd that he wouldn't look up from his code long enough to take the quiz.

93% higher
1% same
6% lower

I think it speaks more about my lack of computer skills then anything else.

Here is another one.

What software do use for writing papers, presentations, etc?

a) Microsoft office: Word/Powerpoint (or Word Perfect etc)
b) Open Office (for ideological reasons)
c) TeX/LateX (including your for your presentations: I am not impressed with people who write their papers in LateX and then bust out the powerpoint for their presentation)

yeah. I'm B and he's C. He wants me to take up Latex, but I'm like, why?

I do know how to keep my homophones strait, though. Does that count for anything?

Keep reading creek. Down below the "% above, % below", there was a box that said what your score was.

You are a 58, fyi.

Nerd.
