It should have asked questions like: "Do you research material before making most informative decisions?"

Ah well, but you're right, I need those two things for school so I would obviously have them at hand.
Same here, though it took me me 3 seconds to realize that I probably have 8 books at hand with a periodic table in it (and Atkins probably has details for each element that you wouldn't even dare guess someone would take the time to measure. I wouldn't be surprised if it'd have the vapor pressure of aluminum at standard conditions...)

Or the question about your last book.
I always have 2-3 with me at all times and it depends on a number of factors, which one I'll be reading.

I'm wondering how I could have possibly scored higher on the awkwardness part considering I only really have regular social contact with one other person.

Would manga/anime knowledge/stuffs be nerdy? 
I'm sure the test is missing that.

Heck, 'RolePlaying' like DnD and stuffs too...

What? Nerds have standards now?  Don't want to be associated with that sort?

I thought most nonmainstream obsessions can be considered nerdy.

I don't own any Carl Sagan books or have a periodic table of the elements on hand, and I don't own a graphing calculator because I don't need one anymore.
I'm more worried about what you did that makes it think you're "high".

I believe it means "high" in the sense of "arch."

Like "high bishop," "high king," or "high council."

I seem to be one of the more 'mainstream' here. Not really surprised, but a little disappoint.
