\nLet’s start this new year with a fundamental question: what kind of a nerd am I ? As some may know, I’m a huge fan on “The Big Bang Theory” TV series. How could it be otherwise ? Geeks, physicists, addiction to comics and a cute neighbor. The perfect cocktail.\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Yep, I’m the kind of guy who would freeze images on a big screen to have a precise look at the paper boards on the background… And, well, I’m kind of proud to be able to laugh at the (very) nerdy jokes they sometimes hide. Or correct formulas whenever they contain errors (which, I must say, is rather unfrequent).\n<\/td>\n  <\/td>\n<\/table>\n

 
\nAnyhoo, I recently came to talk about the series with my cousin Thierry. Of course, being the weirdo guy of the family, he asked me which of these nerds I would be. I answered “Sheldon” right away, which I’m not that proud of.<\/p>\n

I wanted to make sure of this. Even though there’s a gazillion quizzes on the Internet about that very question, as any good geek would do, I built my own (and utterly biased) personal analysis grid, to check things out…<\/p>\n
