Apparently it's true.

I can see why. I'll share my opinion after it's discussed a little.

Yahoo published an article explaining how nerds, compared to jocks and popular kids, will make better adults and be more successful later in life.

In many cases, yeah. What makes you different works in the real word, where different is often better.

In this day and age, yes, 'nerds' have an advantage. The common understanding is that of advanced computer knowledge and the workings of knick knack gadgetry. That, coupled with endless hours of tinkering or gaming, a certain work ethic is maintained, and carried on into the world where a large part of the market now includes, if not relies on, computers or some kind of technology.

interesting read, but nothing i didnt no of people who are bullied have a much better view of the world, better judges of character etc.. also i found in my school when i finished ppl dont really care wat kind of label u are and everyone was mates, the ass holes or bullies had little friends when they left accept other bullies.

normally nerds are the smarter also so of course they are going to be more successful

It depends on your view/average view of a nerd.
'Nerds' tend to have order.
Order is what makes men successful.
There's no science behind this, just logic.

Generalizations like that are just fail.



lol'd.
So few test subjects prove nothing, heck, they didn't even define the word “geek” properly.

In other words: This is incredibly stupid.

yeah, cause nerds usually in the house enabling them to be with their families more often than some other people like jocks..

> outspoken outcasts
> geeks

and then there's tests making people antisocial, Spielberg considered an outcast for being a jew, cat shrines, what the fuck am I looking at

yahoo news? PASS...

also, would have used a wider domain and larger sample size

Sounds like some nerd's sad attempt at trying to validate themselves.

People need to get over highschool.
