I know a lot of people who should have a nerd score higher than mine,
which indicates to me that either the scoring is inaccurate, or that
it should be interpreted as a percentile, because I'd be willing to
concede that I am more nerdy than 98% of the general population, but
I think a proper nerd test should be logarithmic, in order to provide
better differentiation between people like me, who are a lot nerdier
than average, people I know who are more nerdy than me, and the
people who *we* think are really nerdy.  Of course, it could just be
a case that the scoring script had a glitch and artificially inflated
my score.

This one provided me with a (to my mind) much more reasonable 75.6%.
