Okay, that's it. Let's see how you did:
0 points: You probably shouldn't even be registered here. Go drive off in your Ferrari or whatever.
1 - 5 points: What a beta. You'll never know the power that a DM possesses!
6 - 10 points: You're a lukewarm nerd. You have partaken but have never immersed yourself into the culture. Get out now while you still can.
11 - 20 points: You're definitely a nerd, but there's something about you that's holding or has held you back. You're probably a closet D&D nerd and therefore shall always live in shame.
21 - 50 points: Now we're talking! How's that bowlcut working out for ya?
51 - 100 points: Suicide is likely the only answer.
101 or more points: You are the quintessential D&D nerd. You live, breathe and sleep geek. You likely know every rule, every nuance of the way this game is played and you're proud of it. You have almost certainly carefully chosen your social circle to only include others of your nerdkin-ilk, and you've forever forsaken any hope of being accepted by society as "normal" or "cool". You may be Mensa, you're definitely OCD and your mother coddled you as a child. I'm proud of you because you really don't care about what other people think of you and that's a good thing. I'll meet you at the library.
