Yar. Not all of these were especially nerdy.

20-29%: You might be infected. Just slightly, but it will fester and grow and there is nothing you can do...you will be assimilated, resistance is futile.
Some of those questions just had me staring slackjawed at the screen drooling. I didn't know people could get so geeky... I really only knew the ones about mainstream nerd culture like CS, WarCraft, and the Terminator movies. I guess I'm just not a hardcore nerd.

Damn straight.
My nerdiness goes as far as I read the hitchikers Guide and LotR and play games casually. I don't get obsessed with stuff.
And the one who says Army of Darkness is somehow nerdy, deserves a jab in the reproduction organs. It's by far the ballsiest movie of all time.
<b>89%</b>
Is there such a thing as too nerdy? The questions wern't that difficult if you read Hitchhiker's and were fairly well versed in nerd pop culture.
edit: Never read hitchhiker's. At least not yet. Though from what I understood of HG I could pick the most absurd answer and it would be correct.
God, I wish I was kidding.
When your job in college is to run the computer labs... it does things to you.
Disturbingly enough, I would qualify as a 'well balanced nerd' if I played D&D...
