I've always imaged @Ookla the Last Post with red hair, probably because of her orange PFP

I'll rephrase my question, then: what is your definition of nerdhood? And what part of it does not apply to you? ("All of it" is a legitimate answer.)

Hmm. Honestly, I don’t know. I guess to me, a nerd is someone who’s smarter than average in a lot more areas, especially math and science. And I’m pretty storming awful at math and science, really reading books is all I’ve got…

I don’t know. I just don’t identify as a nerd

I don't think math and science are a requirement. Niche areas (like a specific fantasy universe) are also a great place for potential nerdhood.

No, no, a nerd is someone who is obsessive over something, check, is at least a little socially awkward, and has intelligence. Someone can be intelligent and know only something about one subject. For example, I'm intelligent when it comes to giving advice about writing, but I am not intelligent about actually sitting down and writing (unless it's roleplaying, then I'm slightly above unintelligent). 

For another example: You're intelligent. You're a nerd. Live with it- Join our ranks!!

If you don't and you only fit obsession and slightly socially awkward...

You’re a nerd. Take it from a dude who has been called nerd as both an insult and a compliment.

IQ stands for intelligence quotient, it's a measurable thing but doesn't actually mean much. I think it's just standing in for intelligence on the chart, which you are.

I'm not sure about the specifics of the semantics, but are you sure you're not confusing intelligence with knowledge and understanding?

hmm... that's true. Understanding and knowledge fit that more. Intelligence, perhaps, is the capacity to gain knowledge and understanding, then.

I am a geek. It varies sometimes, when I venture into nerd after forgetting to not be socially awkward

If this is true…

I might be a dork! Maybe? But maybe I’m a nerd?

This will take consideration.

I am, most definitely, a nerd. Either that or a Stalker, according to that-

Apparently I stalk the copy of Defiant I'm reading...
