I actually did that a long time ago :-)

However, there were only two levels of nerdiness.

Level 1 is the self-aware nerd.  This is a person who realizes he/she is a nerd, and 
can control themselves in non-nerd environments.  AKA:  Closet Nerd or socially 
acceptable nerd.

Level 2 is the unaware nerd.  See Revenge of the Nerds for many fictional examples.  
These are scary individuals in social situations, particularly those involving the 
opposite sex.  AKA:  Dork, Dweeb, Geek, Goober.

Unfortunately I never came up with a clever acronym for the scale so I quickly lost 
interest :-)

Somehow I don't find that question nerdy at all.

Hm, are you telling me I AM a nerd because I find the other question
nerdy and not this one?

He, let's see when Hugh comes up with a "degrees of nerdiness scale" ;-)
