I didn't listen to the instruction at school at all, I'm poor at science, and I have no clue what to speak to nerds about (I'm a lot better with more outgoing people despite not being one myself). So probably not really a nerd.

I don't label myself as a nerd because labeling myself would be kinda pointless.
I don't feel the need to belong to a group, therefore I don't need to put a label created by society on myself.
However, here's the reasons why I'm not a nerd, even if I wear glasses, and I like technology, sci-fi and videogames:
I'm not a straight-A student
I don't like learning new things in school, unless I like the topic
I'm not quiet, but rather loud
I'm not shy
I'm not bullied.

I jokingly refer to myself as a nerd sometimes, mostly because of my vast collection of video games and books, my pointless, obscure knowledge gathered from sites like Cracked and TV Tropes and the fact that I wear glasses.

Yes. I don't like the label, and it doesn't feel right calling myself one, but a nerd is a nerd.
I like video games and computers. I'm painfully awkward, socially. I don't wear trendy clothes. I like computer programming. I'm great at math, and work hard and do well in school, even if I don't enjoy it. I wear glasses. Yup, that's a nerd, for sure.
I honestly would prefer the label "dork" because it's sometimes used in an endearing way, unlike "nerd".

Yes. Yes I do. I play video games, magic the gathering, and read as much science fiction as possible. And learn as much science as possible. And I nearly fainted today when I heard there's a game where you can make rockets from real rocket parts with newtonian physics, and get on the moon, and explore the solar system, and abandon people in eternal orbit around the sun!

What is that game called?
It's called Kerbal Space Program. It's really fun and very challenging--so far all I've managed to do is blow a bunch of things up (which is fun in itself ).
