Testing Social Constructs: The Nerditude Test

This test is designed to measure your "nerditude." Nerditude is a social construct that describes a person's ability to shun trends and fads and appreciate the less-celebrated genres of art, literature, cinematography, and gaming.

For each of the following items, you are asked to rate the degree to which you relate to or agree with the statement. You may only choose one response. Scores will be more accurate if you answer as quickly as possible. Deliberating too much on any one item may skew your results and make you look like an even bigger nerd than you really may be. Go with your gut!
