Oh, Goody! Another Nerd test!

I think I got extra credit for gray hair.

Because if one has been around awhile and is nerdy enough to contemplate taking the test, one will have done most of these things.

When I was an undergrad, I was doing a project with some coding in a decimal assembly language on an old Burroughs. If I was willing to work at night, I could have the machine to myself. Which was a blessing to the other users considering the level of my coding skills at the time. There was a notice posted on the bulletin board to the effect that they had gotten this new kind of program called a "compiler" and people were invited to try it out.

I am an Uber Cool Nerd God - something is very wrong with that test. Or it needs more shades of meaning. Frex, I used Fortran for one summer school class, really it shouldn't count for much.

The anonymous comment you just got, was from me. LJ logged me out again.

No matter how long I'm around, I'll never have high scores on the science/math and technology/computers score. On the other hand, I should be way off the chart on the history/literature bit, since I plan to get paid for geeking out all hard-core on texts, texts, texts. Given more money, I could go pretty high on sci-fi/comics, too.
