5 = most nerdiest, 1 = least.

I generally act like one, but I'm usually not interested in a lot of nerdy-esque things..like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. I'd put myself in the middle..

since you say nerdy, i will say 3. if you said geeky, it would be 5.

"Nerdiness" or "Geekiness" is a difficult thing to quantify.

The various attributes that "non-nerd" people attribute to Nerdiness have variables within the variables.

For example. I like Star Wars and LOTR. However, I don't wear any of those T-Shirts. I don't dress up in costume for the premiere of the movie.

Appearance wise, you'd never guess that I have nerd qualities. Clean cut, preppy, 30-something is how I'd characterize my appearance.

I don't have what I would call "a main interest." I have a GF. I like my PCs. I like my bike. I like my pets. I like my friends. Not in any order either. Sorry, GF. :p

Well, I think nerdy is less of an intelligence thing (that would be geeky), and more along the lines of being an idiot, so i'd have to say 4.

However, I'm not very geeky at all, I don't like star wars and I don't know how to code.

I was a bit suprised that no one hand put down the number in binary yet until I came upon your post :D

None of you are as nerdy as this FatAlbo!

I'm a 2 but have to convert to binary so 10, so not that nerdy as I'm not thinking in binary!
