I would have to consider my self (with agreeness from a lot of my friends) that I am more of the nerdy type, but not one that shows it. So basiclly, I am a nerd, but do not wear pocket protectors and taped my glasses in the middle.
The question was what others think of ourselves in view of steretypicalism (made that up but it makes sense I guess). It will help people question this if they know them. That's my view anyhow.
What did you think? Most of these guys are trekkies and star wars nuts. Most programmers/coders are nerds. I bet most people here are (myself included)
Actually a nerd is a mathmatical whizz, nothing to do with computers and that sort of thing. The word you are looking for is Geek
Wikipedia says
Geek: A person who is interested in technology, especially computing and new media. Considered derogatory by some. Comparable with the classic definition of hacker. (Late 20th century and early 21st century.)
