I am a geek and know it but how bad are you

Http://innergeek.us/geek.html

I got a 43% and wanted to know how badly off I was relative to the rest of the BoM. Have fun

Weird...my friends and I were just talking about this same test. I scored a 34%...which disappointed me. My friend's roommate scored a 61%!

17.8794% :cool: Still a geek, but a sad one by true geek standards.

Actually, I thought I was going to score as downright "non-geeky," until the movie section came up where it asked if you'd seen those movies more than either 2 or 5 times...I selected all of them!! That just killed my score.

Oh well - Movie Geek it is! :thumb:

14.7929%

I appear to have geek tendencies.

8.48126% - Poser

Whew! I thought I'd score waay higher!

Only 16.56805%

I was only 26.something%, and that included the 5 bonus points for being female.

23.86588% - Geek

Probably a bit over-inflated as I had a lot of points in the movies/books/trivia sections but then again my initial reaction to this test was "What the heck does any of this have to do with biting the heads off of chickens?" so maybe the score is somewhat accurate. :D

9.46746% - Geekish Tendencies

Phew. I'm not a geek after all. I can finally set foot out of the basement without fear of riddicule. Yey.

11.83432% - Geekish Tendencies

Must be the Rubik's cube...

By the way...Who is Jeanine Salla?

What is a geek? I looked it up in the dictionary but couldn't find it.

I'm 19.13215% Geek. Is that good or bad?

Well, the actual definition of a geek is "he who bites the heads off of chickens," but more popularly the term geek is more synonymous with nerd, or dork. Someone who's interests, in lue of what's considered "normal," are in computers, mathematics, science, fantasy games, science fiction - and all manner of useless knowledge and trivia thereof (memorizing the dialogue of original Star Trek episodes is a good example of an extreme case). When these interests dominate your lifestyle, you are bestowed with this most honorable distinction.

Sum it up pretty well?

The exact same number as Silverblade.
Did you want a lightsabre too Silverblade :1eye:

19.52663% - Geek

I don't like comic books and don't want to know anything about Star Trek. I couldn't even name one of the characters.

Total Geek. 31.3341%

Huh, i only got 6.50888% and i even chose the ligthsaber and taht i wanted leia or amidala :)
I thought i would be more geeky, but this is totallt okay :D

4.93097% - Poser

Heh, not so nerdy as I thought, mind you, being 6ft 1 and dashingly handsome (that could get me called a geek ;) ) kinda puts folk off the scent.

You mean the scent puts people off, don't you?

Eww... What's this smell?


I'm kidding. :hahaerr:


I must say that the test is incomplete. There should be more questions and not so specific ones.

Anyone saying he stands a mighty 6'1 and is dasinghly handsome on a roleplaying forum board is per definition a geek. :shake:

Wow - 19.32939%, not as bad as I thought it would be given that I used to program on a mainframe at 110 baud before there were monitors (boy did we go through a lot of paper back then) and introduced all of my friends to PnP D&D back when first edition was still cool.

I was just 19.3%, plain geek, nothing less, nothing more.

Anyone saying he stands a mighty 6'1 and is dasinghly handsome on a roleplaying forum board is per definition a geek.I'm 6'5'' and I'm being told to be handsome. Not that I'm not a geek, but these two things are completely separate and independent ;)

20.71% ...WOW...that's higher than I expected.

I knew I should have lied about my They Might Be Giants CD collection!

Now if you will excuse me I have catalogue the various minerals and strata of my back yard...

32.whatever% for me, total geek. I am surprised, all my freinds say that I am the only atheletic (used to be anyway) geek they know. Glad that I didn't score any higher or else I would have to do something drastic to prove to myself that I am not a major geek, or god forbid a super geek! :p ;)

10.65089% - Geekish Tendencies

What's a fanny pack? :( Or shouldn't I ask? :confused:

5.91716% - Poser

I think some cultural differences or plain inaptitude to understand English have probably caused an about ~20% or so wrong result.

7.10059% - Poser :p :cool:

30.76923% - Total Geek

That's me! :) :tie: :borg:

27 or so

okay, I'm a total geek.

In answer to Shell's question a fanny pack is a small pouch built into a belt. I have mostly seen them worn by serious hikers, bikers and joggers so I really don't know why they would be a sign of geekiness (unless they are being used to store the severed chicken heads ;) ). If you still don't know what I am talking about here is a website where they are being sold.

Personally, I want to know what exactly the SCA is and I will second Sir Bel's question about who is Jeanine Salla?

I would say the number of posts made here at SP is a fairly good indicator of geekdom.


I think joke T-Shirts are NEVER funny and always the exclusive domain of geeks.

I got a 1... hehe.

I got 7.29783%-poser. Kind of weird even though I put that I liked logic games and solve physics in my head.

SCA stands for the Society for Creative Anachronism. They're a group of people who re-create medieval life, right down to housekeeping and hygiene. Check here. (http://www.sca.org/) I've attended one gathering but never participated. Renfaires are more fun because the particpants don't take them as seriously.

People who recreate the Civil War scare me.

15.779%
Some of those things listed I don't consider geeky though.

And who wouldn't own a "multi-sided dice"? I know what they are intending, but isn't a regular 6-sided dice considered "multi-sided"?

(And yes, I checked the box about correcting grammar mistakes by other people :D )

14.2% Thought it would be a lot higher since my moniker as from a Monty Python sketch :hahaerr:

7.88955% - Poser

Well, this result is quite near truth, I think.

SCA is the Society of Creative Anachronisms or something to that effect. While never a member of participant myself, I had a few friends who were. It's members enjoy re-creating their lives as if they were living in the middle ages.

If you've read Christopher Stasheff's Warlock series, you may recall that the original settlers of Gramarye were from several (12-13) SCA duchies.

I'd rather not discuss the results of this test, let's just say that the number was higer than I thought it would be - MUCH HIGHER!!!

Thanks for the info re SCA. I probably should have just done a google serch on it but I was being a little lazy at the time. I just did a search and found out the story behind the Jeanine Salla thing. She is from an internet marketing gimmick for the film AI.

Chevalier you just add to the data pool of my empiric deduction. Its now up to two *ahem* :1eye: . Anyway c'mon we don't see George Clooney telling how dasinghly handsome he is on a roleplaying forum, or do we? Hmmm, BTA come out of the phonebox, drop the glasses and let us see your true identity :shake:

Me? I was something like 21%. That second to last section with all the computer/science related stuff? I was all over that. :)

23.4714%-Geek hmmm, i thought this would be higher.... :D It was all the technical computer stuff that lowered it much.

What?! Female 23% geek? O tempora, o mores! And Carthage should be destroyed.

32.93886% - Total Geek

YIKES! I'm geekier than all the teenage boys here! :eek: I hope my husband doesn't start checking Whatnots, that's a statistic he might not want to know. :lol: Thank goodness I've never had a television or I'd be in real trouble - I'd probably be fluent in Klingon by now, or worse.

I probably should have gotten bonus points for:
- More than 5 years' study of Attic Greek (funny, they did count Latin)
- Holding more than one leadership position in Mensa
- Buying my wedding dress on the Internet
- Regularly reading Wil Wheaton's blog
- Playing PC games before 1985
- Marrying a DM

But that's quite all right, my score is high enough as it is.

23.6 - Total Geek

And I plotted world domination too

Oh dear...

52.07101% - Super Geek

I guess that would make me the big winner so far... or more likely the big loser?
Teach me to take an online poll...

I was 19.34% or something like that ... I don't know how i ranked though

7.69231% - Poser

I only scored this much! Aaaahhhhh. The relief of knowing that the yobos during high school got me totally wrong....

I mean how can I be a geek if I have nearly 800 posts on SP? Surely I have a life to live?

15.38462%. Probably because I had such demanding teachers in both high school physics and chemistry. I didn't check much else.

19.32939% - Geek

I'm 6'3" and aging well ... I don't think I'm a geek, just smart.

(dang, that comment makes me a geek for sure!)

Oh my god!!!!
I thought I was pretty cool...haha, just kiddin. :)

I'm not putting my score here though....no one would talk to me again!

15.77909% - Geek

By the way, being a female geek gives you exactly 0.98619%.

Also, answering all of them gives you 100% - Liar!

@Sprite: Yea, we all bow to Your Most Serene (or rather Sombre :p ;) ) Geekness.

Your additional points are worth 40% bonus at worst, xaire! :D

Chevalier, you don't have to say "xaire" so often. It means "hi" "hallo" "greetings" etc.

This SCA sounds nice but... there is always a "but"

I'm 19.something -Geek. Is that good or bad?

While we're on the subject, did you know that the SCA's official logo is:

"Onward into the future!"

I just thought that was kind of interesting. Does it mean that geeks will control the future?

11.04536% - Geekish Tendencies - Surprising

Alex: xaire means rejoice or be happy in Attic ;) I said that because Sprite was learning Attic too. Finally something other than the ugly Peloponnesian :D

Don't worry Mathetais, I'm only 0.02% more geeky then you and that always counts! ;)

7.10059% - Poser

I consider my score a failure, now I have to find a new identity :(

Must have been those "Do you know..." -questions...

[edit] Whoops... a *brag* ;)

Yes it is, so there is no need to mention it ;)

10% - Geekish tendencies.

IMHO, I get a +10% for being able to rant about alignment for hours on end.

Oaz - please don't say that adds to your score - because if that does, there'll be more to add and I'll be more of a total geek than the total geek I got!

10.45365% - Geekish Tendencies

42.40631% - Major Geek

Go me!

Too bad I don't game more often in RL, if that were so then I'd have a higher one. But I like it anyway :)

Malovae.

C'mon Malovae it's not as if this is "real". Share it all. In another "geek" test I am sure that I'd get 100%, but I reckon the person who makes up the test is more geeky than the people he wants to look geeky...

@Khazraj
Who is the more geekish. The geek or the geek who follows him?

Rewritten quote of Geeky Wan Kenobi

Me? For actually taking the geek test! ;)

Seriously it all depends on our perception. We may think of people like Newton, Priestly, Einstein etc as geeks but without them we would not be able to even type this thread!

I think though that people who go around labelling others as geeks (apart from themselves) are more geeky.

Besides I prefer the term "dag", has a much more authentic feel...

And more importantly my desk thermometer/humidistat reads 25 degees centegrade and 55% relative humidity which means, yes that's right I've left the window open again.

@ chev

You need professional aid. Oh whatever, Paladin junky! :shake:

11.2426% I did better than I thought I would've. I've only got geekish tendancies. :D

Who hasn't plotted to take over the world? :rolleyes:
