I’m not particularly obsessive, and I have some social skills, so my self-diagnosis is that I’m near the intersection of dweeb, nerd and geek, but not quite in any of them.

OK, I realize that it’s just a Venn diagram, and not quantitative in the way implied by my positioning. But I’m really not obsessive, so if I’m in any intersection, it would make me a dweeb.
Nerds rule!
I’m plaid!
Dunno Rand can’t you be considered obsessive about space flight/orbital mechanics? Doesn’t that make you a Space nerd then.

Nope.
If that were true, there would be no posts here on any other subject.
I’m a DweeGerdork!
I love when smart guys who build rockets getting obsessed about whether or not they are obsessed.
(it’s a repetative joke of mine.)
I’m a dork. I embrace my inner dorkness.
Definite nerd, although obsession is overpowered by the other two demographics.

That Venn diagram is a simplified version of a diagram of membership in three fuzzy logic sets. We more frequently see that sort of diagram as a color wheel. Imagine that Intelligence corresponds to red, Social Ineptitude corresponds to green, and Obsession corresponds to Blue, and that the degree of membership in the set is some hexadecimal value from 00 to FF.
Everyone can find themselves somewhere on the chart, and as long as none of the parameters are 00 or FF then everyone is a little bit nerdy. Me? I’m smack dab in the middle of the diagram.
