A Self-Proclaimed Generalist Scores Low on the Nerd Test

Mike's Nerd Test ScoreAm I a nerd? Isolating my technical knowledge, I would consider myself a moderate nerd. My guess is that friends and clients would rate it much higher. I have always considered myself a generalist, balancing both technical and business knowledge, and making me the Internet professional I am today!

So I could not resist taking a Nerd Test that I read about on Cshel’s blog. And how did I do? I got a 67. I attribute the score to my lack of knowledge of the periodic table, owning a simple calculator and not having a biohazard logo in my bedroom (hey, it doesn’t really match my wife’s décor!).

Give the short survey a try – how did you do?

I never knew that my knowledge of the periodic table would come back to haunt me like this.  75%.  Yikes.
