Geek/Nerd/Dork/Dweeb Venn Diagram

by Chris Hardwick on March 30, 2010

The wonderful Geeks/Nerds/Dorks over at Great White Snark have done the world a TREMENDOUS service. Finally, a visual metric that eloquently answers where you fall in this paradigm!

I still define myself as a nerd, btw. What’re you?

You can’t argue with a well-designed venn diagram. Which is why I don’t like them. Nerd, heading towards geek as I age, I guess.

Thank you!
How I have a better knowledge from myself…
One question: can I try an Spanish version of this wonderfull Diagram and put it in my own Blog for the attention to the thousands of Spanish´s talker Geek / Nerd / Dweeb or it´s closest translations?
Regards,

Darío

If you don’t know what a Venn diagram is, you’re a dork.

I hated this when I saw it many months ago, and I still hate it now. It is a complete fail!!!

No Melby, your complete fail.

@Melby: Ditto to Dan, Melby epic fails at life. And yes I did a ditto because i am a Nerd with a heavy leaning towards Dweeb and proud of it. BTW love the diagram

Pretty sure I fall into the Dweeb category.

I’m in Dork/Dweeb territory. Good to know.

i fall into the nerd category. i have social ineptness, i obsess obsessively lol and i have intelligence.

hm, guess I’m a dweeb, but I’ve got a love for Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy that borders on obsession. I guess that would give me a slight nudge in the nerd direction.
Truth is that I’ve always felt more like a goober than anything else. There’s no room for that in this diagram.

I fell off the graph and landed somewhere between idiot and clueless.

@barb – your sense of humor makes you a geek, that’s about where I’m at.

My mind can now rest. I am indeed a proud nerd.

A true nerd would realize that a combination of Yellow, Magenta and Cyan would produce a dark-gray color. I’m sorry, but the one who created this diagram knows nothing about far far reaching nerdhood can be.

Love the diagram. Too perfect.

NERDS!!!

I’m old enough to remember how embarrassing it felt to be labeled as any one of these names when is was a kid building my own computer and hacking away in basic. I’m really happy it has become culturally accepted and even cool to be a Geek!

10% Nerd, 90% Geek Chic, oh yeah!
