I first noticed this split about 3-4 years ago when some friends and I did an online 'How Nerdy Are You' test. I scored a bizarrely low 10-ish%. This was due partly to the fact that I wasn't gaming at the time and most of the gaming questions were present tense. (I had to be honest.) But mostly it was due to the enormous number of questions related to computers and programming languages and other boring stuff about which I know nothing. Most of my gaming buddies fall firmly in the Geek group. This leads to a certain amount of mutual frustration at times. I would like to second Umbran on finding the choice of the terms Nerd and Geek to be unfortunate. I've always considered them to by synonymous. But, short of coming up with some embarrassing neologism, what can ya do hey? Gonna have to cogitate a bit about how the GEek and the Nerd catergories interact/overlap with Gamist and Simulationist.</blockquote>
