This survey badly needed an "other" category. And needed to be spell-checked as well. I was an artistic type, same as when this question was last asked.

Gee -- none! The *closest* answer would be "computer nerd" _except_ that I remember slide rulers (haven't used them -- I got my first electronic calculator at junior high). I was one of the people who used to get all Bs and As until I graduated from high school. Didn't do so well at the university though -- I was a computer nerd then, and started doing better when I switched majors from mechanical engineering to computer science, but I dropped out to move to a different country.

Um, we were the "browners", short for brown-nosers, because we were smart and polite to the teachers (for the most part).

feedback item one - please use the spell checker. In grade school, I always had a few close friends, and a lot of acquaintances, and there weren't any real categories. In high school I was a nerd who attempted in a chameleon-like way to be a floater, with varying results. Fortunately, I went to a college where lots of people were socially outcast nerds, so I fit right in.

Which school? In high school I was accepted by all groups. In college I was a card carrying member of the apathetic crowd.

Should have been a multi-select survey, IMO. And what about drama geeks? I was always a computer/science-fiction nerd, but I also spent a bunch of time being a music/drama person, and there was this amazing confluence during senior year where pretty much all the boundaries came down - I think we all realized that we were all leaving soon, and the cliques just ceased mattering as much. So by the end of the year I was hanging out with jocks, geeks, people who hung out in "the smoking area", you name it. It was great.

I'm still in school. This next year will be my senior year and I hang out with drugies, goths, skaters, punks, freaks, outcasts hehe i'm just a loser but damn proud of it. This survey could use more categories.

i was in the advanced group, but i was at the mid to lower end(less smart than the smarties)of that group. i also was athletic so i could float from group to group...... i never got in to a lot of what the athletic kids were into so i floated on the fringe of a couple of groups.

We really didn't have computer nerds (lacking computers, for the most part)...I think the equivalent was the A/V crowd, I think. I was a "brain" mostly, which did not make me particularly popular and eventually made me fairly spectacularly unpopular right at the end.

I was the fat girl. I was poor. I was a loser.....I hung out with the druggies and outcasts mostly.

Until Senior year, when I lost a ton of weight(starving myself coupled with an unrequited love story that would make Hollywood proud)....and then everyone who had spit on me for most of my high school career(or beaten and harassed me in grade school) gladly embraced me into their lives. I joined the drama club, sang in the elite Delphian choir, ran and lifted weights with the jocks before and after school and pretty much felt like a total imposter. I was miserable believing that any minute the joke would be up and they'd all turn on me again. My grades sucked but hey! They liked me! They really liked me!
BLEH!

If I could go back and do it all over again...I'd do it in a trenchcoat!

(I'm still in high school, BTW. Class of 2002!) Anyways, I guess I'm a floater because I don't identify with any one of these categories.

Honestly, I don't really see these single groups at my school. Probably because it's so big. Most people have a clique, but you can't really label any except the popular group, most of whom are also jocks. (Although some of them are also druggies.)

I guess I'd have to pick the druggie crowd... but at my school, I wasn't in a group... I was friends with a lot of different people from different groups. This survey was badly done though, I remember there being band people, drama people, joiners, loners, skaters, hoods(heavy metal types), and preppies... and I'm sure I'm not mentioning all of them.

I've never seen popular spelled that way.

Hey, why don`t you have a "regular nerd" category. You know, we`re not all members of the "Computer Generation". I guess I was a "SMART hillbilly nerd". We called ourselves the GRITS. We certainly weren`t POP-UP-LAR!

Floater, but probably more popular than anything else. The popular group was also the druggies, though. After a while I realized that not many of those people really gave a crap about me and started hanging out with a girl not really in my group. Now I only have 2 friends from my "popular" group. And surprisingly, I kind of merged a lot of the popular group with the less popular people I was hanging out with. I thought that was pretty cool.
