I am going by Starrman's definition, according to which I am actually an agnostonerd: http://www.timeforchess.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=39440&page=7

"Overall, you scored as follows:

31% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
68% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Low Ranking Nerd. Definitely a nerd but low on the totem pole of nerds."

Darn, I need to go to bed instead of doing nerdy tests. 😞

I see chess as "mind exercise" to ward off Alzheimers. LOL!
