Because KB did it, that means I pretty much had to, right? Right.
Well, that’s what the site name says, right?

For a “nerd test” it sure is poorly designed and written.
So much so, in fact, that I closed it without completing it.
(I mean, what about those of us who do “read books” but do not, in fact, own any Sagan books?
Or those of us who know what Jeopardy is but don’t watch it?)

Yeah, I had the same problem with the Sagan question – I mean, I have an eight foot tall bookcase that’s full to the brim of books, including a FORTRAN programming textbook from 1971 that I found in an antique store for $3. No Sagan books, though. Does that mean I’m not a nerd?
(NOTE: The FORTRAN manual covers the WATFOR and WATFIVE compilers. That may skew the answer a little.)
(NOTE: That book came out nine years before I was born.)
(NOTE: My dad was 11 when that book came out.)
(NOTE: I still think it was the best $3 I ever spent.)

I don’t think the test is all that accurate, I tested as:
Uber Cool Nerd God
I know I’m not that much of a nerd.
