How do you indentify and why?

I am a nerd. I get obsessed with characters and stoires (tv, books, comics). My favorites The Hound (Game of Thrones), John Locke (Lost) and Leon and Mathilda (Leon the Professional)

I think you have the terms switched around. Nerds are not obsessive of such things usually. Geeks are the ones into scifi and gaming and such.

I don't really like those descriptions. I personally identify as nerd, geek and dork.

I don't like those words, they always have a negative tone. I don't associate any of them when I think of what/who I am. Being smart and/or liking certain things doesn't make you the stereotypical nerd or what have you.

I don't think I'm either

...According to that venn diagram I'd fall into the "nerd" category.
But hey, there's nothing wrong with being a nerd. And a little diagram doesn't account for the various things that make up such stereotypes anyway.

Going by this definition, I'm a geek. I've got all the right interests. But I'm also super friendly and fairly charismatic, so I don't tend to get that particular label applied to me. *shrug*

Looking at that, I'm a geek. I pretty much only read sci-fi, I go to science fiction conventions, I watch science fiction shows... And on top of that I swooned when we were learning about the ETC (electron transport chain, makes ATP for cells in the mitochondria) in Biology.

Not going by the diagram, but I consider myself a nerd. I have a huge obsession with Zelda stuff. Me and my dad both really.

If you can find it on ebay then I can say we literally own four of it xD

Great thread! I should have thought of this myself! Like you, I am more of a Nerd, but with hints of a Geek!

I meant to vote neither. I am more of a Dork.

According to the chart I'm a dork. I always wondered what the differences were. All this time I thought I was a nerd.
