Like I said, different castes of nerd. I'm a "techy" and I can't stand Monty Python. I believe this is genetically inborn and phenotypically based.
What is the shape of your skull? Do you have a large or small forhead? Is your forehead vertical or sloped? Browridge or not? Do you have an occipital bun or is the back of your head flat? Do you have a large parietal area (top of head is not flat but raised, could be front back or middle)? Do you have deep eye sockets or shallow ones? Do you have broad temporal lobes (area above your ears) or are they in line with the outside edges of your eyes?
since when is Monty Python 'nerdy' is that an American thing

Phrenology is a pseudoscience and will stay a pseudoscience until it starts generating testable hypotheses.
