Take the test and see how much of a nerd you are. (?)

Here's the automated version, which is only slightly different and returns a score and some other info.

I scored a 39, plus I'm giving myself a bonus point for posting my score.

47.
Some were iffy- somewhere between 42 and 52.

47 - same as MediumRare.

43 for me, which is higher then I expected.

Too bad there were no questions about how early in life you began using computers/electronics (at 1 years old, I think I would have had an edge )

I didn't start at 1, but I've been using computers for 42 years. (Now where have I seen that number before?)

your age is showing.
sometimes when i teach, and the final results of the calculation is 42, i say "of course, that was the answer that we expected at the outset, that is the answer" and the students have a blank stare on their faces... illiterate bastards...

Yeah, well at least they are Mostly Harmless!

56...

I refused to take the test because those who put it up weren't nerdy enough to put in radio-button answer selection and automated test scoring.

Um... how many points do I get for making an autoscoring system myself?

I kept losing count, so I copied and pasted into vim, deleted the ones I said yes to, and then did: "wc -l file", and substracted that number from 100...

That's got to count for at LEAST 1 or 2 bonus points I think...

It has been suggested that if you take the test and post your score, you may qualify for a bonus point, since such activity, by nature, could be considered that of a nerd.

LOL

I got a 42.

Yep, white and nerdy.

54..

Does programming your Mindstorms kit count? Does teaching your dad how to program your Mindstorms kit count?

Do you have the new Mindstorms kit? It looks badass.

Nope. I have the original ones from 2000 and 2001, incl. the R2D2 kit.
Which new one? The NXT?

Took the autoscoring test. It's a bit dated (lack of broadband/internet/ipv6 that sort of thing), but...
