I’ve seen this Jock-Nerd/Prep-Goth Test floating around Facebook for the past day, and gave in to peer pressure.
LARP stands for Live Action Role-Playing. It is a form of role-playing where participants physically act out their characters’ actions and interact with one another in a simulated world. In the Jock-Nerd/Prep-Goth Test, LARP should not be understood pejoratively or as exclusively pertaining to role-playing, but as someone who combines the geeky knowledge of nerds with the non-conformity of Goths to engage in gaming, fantasy-worlds and the like.
Sounds about right to me!
