[Liberal Veteran]

2. 33.53057% - Total Geek

[Hoosier Democrat]

3. 20.31558% = GEEK

[Interrobang]

4. Super Geek -- 50.4931%

heh, I think that should be rounded up to 50.5 (.49- = .5) -- I deserve that extra 0.0179 points just for suggesting it, although decimal places are cool...

[wysimdnwyg]

Barely in the "Geek" range

15.7%

[booksenkatz]

5. Total Geek! I'm so proud! 28.59961%

The one that I was most embarrassed, or perhaps proud, to check off was, "2+ sound effects CDs." I have several, due to my love for Halloween and a geeky need for a theme production on my front porch each year.

I also married a geek who is far, far geekier than I am!!

Brainy = sexy, bay-beh!!!

[Liberal Veteran]

6. Thou art less geekified than I.

I'm so geeky I wrote a script to answer geek questions for me :P

[sendero]

14. 9.44468% Geekish Tendencies

But only because I never became interested in those silly games :)

[LynneSin]

15. 17.75148% - Geek, but...

:shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. 35.30572% - Major Geek

I was hoping for Extreme, at least... :beer:

[Supply Side Jesus]

I got alot of those D&D references, along with most of the sci-fi.
Great test.

[sirreal]

18. 35.50296% - Major Geek

So, knowledge of science makes me a geek, eh?

[populistmom]

19. 19.72387% Geek

Okay, just a plain Geek, nothing extreme, sounds about like me.

[pmbryant]

20. 18.7% "Geek"

For whatever that is worth. Could have said that much beforehand. ;-)

[ikojo]

22. I don't think I'm very geeky....

[MercutioATC]

Nerd.

:evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[GregorStocks]

24. 16.something%

but I'm in middle school, so many do not apply.

Also, I rigged it to get 100% the next time. And tried to put it in the guestbook. How geeky is THAT? (Just check every box)

[goobergunch]

25. 23.27416% - Geek (n/t)

[supernova]

26. 41.8146% - Major Geek

I improved my score from 32.54438% - Total Geek :D

Wow! I'll have to work on my geekiness. I wanted to be a Geek God! But I don't spend enough time at SCA and Trek conventions. :P

[scarletlib]

30. Total geek

but on review as my husband took the test, I saw one or two others that I could have answered yes to andmoved up to a higher geek level.
As a female I am proud of my geekiness. I love techie stuff, science, math, history, sci-fi --you name it.

If only when I went to school oh so many years ago that the girls had been given more encouragement in the math/sciences.

[Redneck Socialist]

31. Less than 15% geekish tendencies.

I guess I am so non geek I can't even remember the decimal places.

[mantis49]

32. 15.97633%

Geek. Disappointed!

[creativelcro]

33. 33.72781 % Total Geek

[Deja Q]

34. I could have scored higher, but I didn't go theoretical and scored a mere:

31.55819% - Total Geek

They could have used Neil Gaiman as an author as well as Asimov and other authors. Fantasy is as much geeky as sci-fi...

And where the heck was Doctor Who on that list? It's far cooler than Trek because it's more than preachy space opera on a starship that always seems to go on a 2D axis despite being in a 3D environment because the ship looks dumb from certain angles...

What, I know of playing games on a PDA. But I play 'em on my cell phone too. Isn't that worse?!

I'd go on, but this is enough! :D

[nini]

35. 7.10059% - Poser

haha..

scary.. since I'm a programmer

[Wonder_Cow]

36. 26.82446%

Thought I would score higher

[sbj405]

37. 21.69625% - Geek, thought i was geekier

i was even one of the geeky professions. not into the movies and games enough, i guess.

[jogi1969]

38. 21.10454% - Geek

the sad part?
i was dissapointed it was only 21%

[Piperay]

39. 7.29783% - Poser

Aw, phooey. :cry: :argh:

[Pobeka]

40. 35.89744% - Major Geek

41. I win!

55.81854% -Extreme Geek
Hah! I don't know why I'm so proud of that, but I am :bounce:

[DS1]

42. Just spent an hour tweaking my XP installation

It now boots twice as fast and uses 20 megs less memory. woo hoo!

[IronLionZion]

44. What'd you do to it?

did you change any hardware or just settings in XP itself?

[DS1]

45. Behold!

I found the win2k version of this guide at work, took it home and used what matched. The link at the page was no longer available, but I dug up this XP specific version.

[IronLionZion]

43. it's too long

I am proud to be a geek and don't need a stupid quiz to tell me.

[HEyHEY]

46. 8 per cent, I'm a poser

[TreasonousBastard]

47. 56.6075% Extreme Geek...

and God knows I don't want to actually meet anyone who got any higher.

[tigereye]

49. 25.44379% Total

I thought it would be lower since I'm way out of high school. Was voted most studious, so that pretty much defined me at the time. The most fun was thinking how much higher my husband's would be than mine (all the computer guy stuff not on mine). Then my son said "What's a geek?" and I said just wait. Although it may not be soon, since his school is very tolerant and full of young geeks! (we used to be known as nerds) In the long run I have to say being a nerd or geek ( or are they not the same?) paid off.

[bleedingheart]

48. I ranked a 56%

but I am also a female engineer who works for an engineering company that produces engineering software... so I have an unfair advantage...
bwahahahahaha

I recall being one of the only female members of a geeks only club in college. ah...those were the days...almost surreal.

[starroute]

50. I'm too old for most of this stuff to apply

Got an 18.3432% anyway, but far too many of the categories (RPGs, Star Wars, most of the computer stuff) didn't come along until I was already well past the age when one has enough free time to jump into things in the full-on way that the test requires.

On the other hand, either of my kids would score far higher than I did -- and that in itself would make an appropriate question if I retooled this test for us paleogeeks:

__have you raised your children to be geeks?
______deliberately?

[NoPasaran]

53. So am I

Still scored 20.31558% - Geek. I'd have done better if there were some questions pertaining to slide rules.

Real live geekiness: a couple of weeks ago I actually had to determine the diameter of a circle given its circumference at work. See kids, someday you actually have to use this stuff. Stay in school.

[DBoon]

62. Other suggestions

How many COBOL opcodes do you have memorized? Can you explain what the data division is all about?

Do you know what the letters RPG stand for in the programming language?

Did you ever write a program in BAL? Dibol? Pick Basic?

Did you ever write your own relational database on a PC in Basic?

Did you ever write your own ASCII star trek game in Basic? And if you did, did you have to back it up on paper tape?

Did you ever set up a Ham radio packet station?

Did you ever own a blue box?

Were you ever in trouble in college for exceeding computer usage limits on a university time-sharing system?

[Mikimouse]

51. 29.6% Total Geek

OK, I rounded it from 29.5858%

[ParanoidPat]

52. I'm depressed!

I only scored 56.21302% Extreme Geek! :evilfrown:

This is the first test I ever failed!

I guess I need to start learning how to play video games. :(

[baldguy]

54. 36.88363% - Major Geek

[Breezy du Nord]

55. 13.80671% - Geekish Tendencies

That's not so bad...

[Lefta Dissenter]

56. Is there some sort of prize for LEAST Geeky?

how 'bout my mighty 2.76134%

[aQuArius]

57. 45.75937% - Super Geek YIKES

I even surprised myself :wow: I need a life :(

[Rabrrrrrr]

58. 66.6666% - I'm a geek God!

I'm so proud.

[trackfan]

59. 32.1499% - Total Geek

[northzax]

60. 41.61736% - Major Geek

which is frightening, considering that I was unable to answer any question dealing with RPG's (never played them) Star Trek (never watched it) or anything in the "what I wear" category" I didn't even recognize most of the stuff. oh well, I guess my inner geek pays off.

[DBoon]

61. 35.89744% - Major Geek

Too old to have gotten into computer gaming in a big way, so I lost a lot of points there (no questions on pac man...)

[Spirochete]

63. I only got 17.75

Guess I'd better go get me a Rubiks cube and a pocket protector. And claim to be female on the test.

[Clark Can WIN]

64. Major geek
