I never try to “beat the test” or figure out what the questions are leading to, because I think that messes up the results. So I just answered honestly, and this is what happened :>
I have decided that I would like a caricature of Junichiro Koizumi to use whenever I make reference to “Jun-Jun-kun”. It could be anime-chibi style, or American caricature style–just something distorted, with a big head, that looks like Koizumi.

Pure Nerd 78 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 26% Dork |
For The Record:A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the “dork.” No-longer. Being smart isn’t as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.
