OT-The Geek Test

While catching up on today's posts on the new system's Web site, I came across The Geek Test. Never one to pass up proving my geekiness, I decided to take it. But imagine my surprise that on a scale of 1 to 8 that ranges from Geekish Tendencies to Dysfuntional Geek, I only rank a 2 - a plain, every day Geek (with a resultant geekiness of only 16.17357%)! And that's even factoring in that I use Linux over Windows!!

I guess this means I let too much real life get in the way of embracing geekiness. I'll have to do something about that! 

But enough about me. Why not see where you rank on the geek-o-meter?    (And don't kid yourself - the mere fact that you're on your computer reading this forum definitely means that you'll place on the survey somewhere.  )

My Score: 5.91716....."Poser".......which doesn't actually appear on the chart...so I guess I'm not a geek at all.

(like I needed to take this test to show YOU that.... )

(with a resultant geekiness of only 16.17357%)!

Oh, this is just WRONG.  I answered truthfully, but even counting the 1% adjustment for being female I scored higher than you.

Anyway, same category-- 22.68245% geek.

I scored higher than you.

Then I guess we know who the real geek around here is.    Perhaps you can give me geekiness lessons.    I honestly don't know what I'm not doing right. 

The highest percentage of geekiness so far on the system's Web site is 35.89744% (and that's from a regular member - not even one of the developers), which falls into the 4th category: Major Geek. There's still a possibilty that someone could get Super Geek, Extreme Geek, Geek God, or the ultimate: Dysfunctional Geek...

My Score: 5.91716....."Poser".......which doesn't actually appear on the chart...so I guess I'm not a geek at all.

Well, there's still hope for you because attending the Fest should get you up to at least the 1st category: Geekish Tendencies.

Ha ha!  I guess I need to get in touch more with my inner geek. 

Geez, I had never even heard of the SCA.   :-

I was directed there the other day by another board and scored 20.5282 -- Geek. But I have a damn hard time buying that I could be geekier than MB. The system is rigged!

Neither had I. But I just did a Google search and came up with two possibilities and I think I'm going with Society for Creative Anachronism over Sexual Compulsives Anonymous.    (Well, unless sexual compulsives are considered more geeky than members of a society "dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe." It would be hard to believe if they are.  )

The truth often hurts. 

..........Society for Creative Anachronism..........a society "dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe."

MY kind of  people!!

But I have a damn hard time buying that I could be geekier than MB. The system is rigged!

Exactly!!!

I just did a Google search and came up with two possibilities and I think I'm going with Society for Creative Anachronism over Sexual Compulsives Anonymous. 

When I googled it, I entered "geek" as well and only the former came up.

Exactly!!!

Inability to face up to reality is always such a sad thing to see.

Well, then - I suppose that settles it.

This ENFJ is 32.54428% - TOTAL GEEK!  Yo baby!

It must have been all the gaming I've done over the years including but not limited to LAN Parties, winning a Magic the Gathering tournament, playing D&D, playing loads of Final Fantasy video games, being a bookkeeper and quasi-liking to do my taxes or preparing a bunch of people for taxes, etc. etc. etc.  Oh yes, then there is that girl nerd site I belong to, GRU (Geeks R Us).  They will adore this test!  Thanks for sharing it MB.

I can honestly say that, other than an occasional game of computer solitaire to pass the time while my computer is working on something else for me, I've never played a computer/video game in my life. And I couldn't tell the difference between an X-Box and Nintendo if they offered to pay me a million dollars. Perhaps that's a major reason why I scored so low...

being a bookkeeper and quasi-liking to do my taxes or preparing a bunch of people for taxes, etc. etc. etc.

I've never done my own taxes in my life either. And I despised every second of the one semester that I took of Accounting. (I have a banker friend who seems more than happy to do my taxes for me - and I trust him implicitly.) Give me Analytical Calculus or Trigonometry any day (which one would think would have ratcheted up my geekiness, but apparently it didn't).

Oh yes, then there is that girl nerd site I belong to, GRU (Geeks R Us).

And I don't have time to deal with any Web sites other than this one. 

They will adore this test!  Thanks for sharing it MB.

My pleasure! 

The fashion minded geek woman would have to have these geek fashion choices in their wardrobe.  Made for a ladies figure no less!
