Surprisingly Low Score

Ganked from way too many people:


How White and Nerdy Are You?

I would have expected a higher result until I actually took the test.

We didn't have an AV club in high school. We had a Computer Club, and I was an officer in it.

I think that should count as AV. I was in the computer club in high school, as a specially created Munchkin member (being about 4'6" at the time)

I agree. Since the test is specific to the song and what rhymes, I think retaking it with answers that are "in the spirit" of the question would be more accurate, like a college other than MIT, or being one of the top 5 in class, going to a pirate/fairy fair etc.

I am only 22% white and nerdy. Everybody calls me white and nerdy even in Fandom circles.

MIT was a fairly specific reference. For example, you might get an extra point if you know who Biff was, or even another point if you ever met Biff. You should get an extra point for working at a Ren Faire, etc.

For the MIT question, I'd count CalTech or other schools where a significant number of Internet protocols or technologies were developed (e.g. UCB, UIUC, UWO, Stanford).

As I've mentioned elsewhere, this tracks directly to the song. Anybody getting a score above 25% would be considered very nerdy by most people. Scores above 50% are freakish to the point of self-parody, which was kind of the point of the song.

My small school didn't have a chess club; we had a wargames club. I was president when I was a senior. I counted this. ;)
