That's not 4.
 
I know. I added two more after I submitted it.

Aren't pimp and hollywood star really the same thing?


yeah that's what I was thinking.

But a pimp isn't prestigious or even famous. A pimp is the king of a very limited domain, but a hollywood star, on the other hand, is out to conquer the world.

True true. I didn't even think about that.
 
The nerds will inherit the Earth. :thumbup:

Its as Bill Gates said in his speech to highschool students:

"Don't hate on the nerds, because most likely one of them will be your boss."

:laugh: :laugh: :D
 
Where my pimps at? Perhaps I could try to lure them with their mating call "Bling, Bling, Bling!"
 
haha how about i really love this stuff?

but then again, the fame and prestige and/or money and power are nice too.

I believe that would fall under the "nerd" catagory.

Wow, you are good. Harvard is in good hands.
To celebrate those trash cans every course evaluation from high school and college that asked me "why did you take this course?" was answered with a succinct "a talking trash can told me to."
 
these are all too extreme, there needs to be at least one moderate option, like "financial stability & altruism" which takes options from both pimp and saint.
 
See, that's why we really need something like Q's idea.

At first I wasn't sure I thought that nerd/whipped were good opposites, but I think they're not bad after some consideration. One represents someone with a very intense interest in the academics of medicine, while the other is someone whose interest is solely determined by secondary gain.
 
I just want to be able to get a decent table at a restaurant.
 
You should have allowed multiple selection on your poll... :)

It's like the political compass, but for med students. :thumbup:

The Saints are making a comeback. :D

Now that's a phrase you don't hear too often. :smuggrin:

At least Aaron Brooks is gone and they're coming back to NO!

That's not fun.

you're a closet pimp.

Sorry, you just can't have it all.

Although now I'm regretting not making this a public poll. That would be fun! :thumbup:
 
It was more of a joke than anything. Who knows, maybe you've got me pegged. 'Cept I's done like my HOES with huge...braims.

I put down nerd. I really find everything fascinating. I'm sure I'll lose my interest in prostate exams PDQ though.
 
Wow! There are almost as many wackos as there are stars!
 
What can I say, I'm a nerd-pimp

Dude, you matched the fonts. You definitely need to put yourself higher on the nerd axis. :D

haha, yep, the nerdiest thing about it was it only took me a minute to do :laugh:
 
The pimps are now tied with the nerds!

MM, if you're going to make my diamond, the least you could do would be to help out a computer-challenged girl and put me on there. I think I should go slightly to the right and above you (a little nerdier, and less saintly :D )

Rafa, that was what gave me the idea. :)

Your wish is my command, Dr. Q, Chemistry Woman... I hope I made you saintly enough. :D

It looks like a three-way between the Saints, Pimps, and Nerds.

After generating that plot, I think you're position just changed from the pink dot to the very very very very top edge of the graph...

i've tried telling my friends that hallucinogens and disneyland/world aren't a good combo... :laugh:
 
I didn't know what to vote.

So I closed my eyes, and moved my mouse all over the place and it landed on Wacko! :eek:

That felt like one of those magic 8 balls you see in toy stores.

How did you guys add your name to the diagram. Someone put me in Saint and Nerd category please. Pretty please with sugar on top. :D
