Geek

A geek is someone of high intelligence, which usually makes them outcasts of mainstream society. Although they share many traits with the nerd (lack of social skills, usually wears glasses, normally seen on the computer etc.) the main difference is IQ. Nerds are normally of average or above average intelligence, while geeks are often significantly smarter. Geeks also have more mainstream interests i.e physics, maths, chemistry

Geeks are sometimes described as nerds with less social skills, although in some places this is the opposite way round.
