Ranking The Big Bang Theory Characters In Order Of Nerdiness

Rating: Nerd Factor: 3/10

Evidence: Strictly speaking, Bernadette should be a lot nerdier than she is: she was of course introduced as a "suitable" date for Howard, and she's in the right sort of occupation to imply she has the credentials. However, Bernadette is designed to contrast Howard's rampant geekery, and her comedy comes more from the fact that she's morphing into his mother, rather than her being a fully fledged nerd.
