This test doesn't adequately predict whether someone is a nerd or
not. I know lots of nerds who don't play dungeons and dragons and
I know lots of really cool people who play (yeah right) I think
people who listen to prog are generally more intelligent, type B people
who tend to be more "nerdy" although nerdness is completely
subjective. I think some nerdy people are the coolest people and "cool"
people are really lame. We need to think of more nerd tendencies
and make a comprehensive test that tests degrees of nerdiness.
I'm lazy so I don't want to come up with the whole test, but I'll
contribute some nerd-determining questions that can be used.
How many hours are spent listening to music vs. how many hours hanging
out with friends. If the ratio is more than 3:1 then I think that
qualifies you as a nerd, or a music nerd at least.
How many hours spent alone in a room with headphones on or with
face stuck between two speakers vs. how many hours spent having sex a
week. If the ratio is more than 5:1 then you are a nerd.
How many friends do you have?
Do people make fun of you at school/work and call you a dork straight to your face?
There are many other great questions that can be used which will give
us a realistic picture of how dorky most progarchives members
are. I for one would be interested in finding this out.
Since I'm not a geek though, I can't come up with any questions since
it is so hard for me to relate to being geeky. I'll leave it for
the rest of you guys

The idea of a nerd is a myth. There is no such thing as nerds it is just a label that people us against other people. D&D is just a game and playing has nothing to do with what kind of person you are. There is no such thing as nerds. Just remember that. It is only a cheap label, just like 'cool' and 'redneck'.
