Once upon a time, it was considered uncool to be nerdy. But times have changed and these days, being told you are a nerd is something that can be worn as a badge of honor. This depends on who is calling you a nerd and why, of course, but in general, being deemed a nerd today does not mean what it used to.
Nerds used to be social rejects who favored comic books, science fiction, and other forms of entertainment or literature that the general masses were not into as much. Now that most people have come around and warmed up to such aspects of entertainment and leisure, being a nerd has become a good thing.
In this quiz, we test your ability and knowledge of a wide range of subjects. Fake nerds will only get about 6 out of 15 of these questions correct. A real nerd, on the other hand, should be able to score much better. Which sort of nerd are you? It's time to find out.
