Just passing it along, once more.

Maybe the circle is:

                     Nerd nerd

Geek nerd Dweeb nerd
                             X
Freak nerd Dork nerd

                    Weird nerd

... where the introverted-keep-it-under-wraps nerd nerd is opposed to the
extroverted-eccentric weird nerd, and the blend-in-with-the-crowd dweeb nerd
is opposed to the obviously-not-of-this-earth freak nerd, and the
I-wanna-be-popular dork nerd is opposed to the
I-don't-care-I'm-going-to-fantasize geek nerd ...

Again, with the core nerd at the center and the weirdo nerd as the extreme.

Of course, putting real people into this model is problematic, because
people can change and grow, or may be different in different contexts ....
