Bill Roth's Blog | May 23, 2007   1:37 PM | Comments (3)


While on a long conference call, I noticed a link on a friend's Yahoo IM, which gave a reference to the Nerd test and his score, with was 59. Now given that I am a manger of managers, I figured there is no way I could beat this number, since I really respect the technical abilities of this person.

So I took the test. It is an interesting one, and I happen to know a bit about the periodic table and various scientists, since I teach grade-school science from time to time. My results were shocking:

I am nerdier than 95% of all people. Are you a nerd? Click here to find out!

Who knew? While I am not a professional programmer, as my team knows, I love my product and frequently test it and file bugs. (Pity the poor Workshop team.)

Does this mean I need to get a life? I think I need to get out more.
