I took the Nerd Test, and here is the result:

That’s actually a higher score than I was expecting. I was particularly amused at the follow-up question about how I knew the chemical symbol for a particular element. The possible answers included “I found a Periodic Table and looked it up” and “I looked at the Periodic Table next to me”. They did not include “I looked at the Periodic Table in the most recent post to my blog,” which was certainly an option in my case. (I didn’t, though. I am the son of a chemist. I don’t need a Periodic Table to know the symbol for manganese.)
