see how much geek you are

Im only 21.30178% geek!

I don't do well on the geek scale- 4.14201% - Poser
That they bring the geek % out to 4 digits is geeky in itself. ::)

I'm not much of a geek either, Race. I got '4.73373% - Poser'. I thought about ticking 'I know 10+ chemical symbols', but them I realised that I only did 2 years ago when I actually was studing Chemistry!

OH NO!!

I got (this is NO lie) 64.29983%(extreme geek)
I didnt think I was that bad!!Although,in almost 41 yrs you do collect a lot of geeky abilities and tendencies ;D
No I wont hack into anyones computer(I forgot how) ::)

19.52663%

But I do not get "it". What does the Hobbit or any of that have to do with being a geek? Or should I start identifying myself as a nerd instead? Star Trek... okay, but the Hobbit?  8)

I feel a nerd - geek war comming on.  ;D ;D

25.04931% - Total Geek


I did exaggerate my answers just a little, but all were to some extent true... :D

23.27416%  Boy, this is scary.  :-/


Cat

mine was 20.something...just plain old geek......

I blame it ont he fact that i know the odd/even rule of Star Trek movies  ;D

21.69625% - Geek :D

15.38642% - Geek

That's comforting.

14.00394%, almost a geek.  ;)

Fine, that's it, I'm going away to have a strop in the corner because I got 76.72584% - Dysfunctional Geek in that test...

I got 15.3841 % - geek

I obviously need to try harder.  My next project is to read all the Lord of the Rings books.

Didn't notice any Pratchett books mentioned, I'm sure they're as geeky

I hope i'm not the only one who ticked I know more people online than in real life



and since when wasn't this real life??

29.19132% - Total Geek

Hmm... not surprised in a way, though I do know nothing at all about a lot of it, but D&D/Roleplaying history counted against me; and my job only helps increase geekiness :-)

Phil

I got 16.76529%...  thought it would be higher than that... :P

I was 6.something%.  Guess the hubby is wrong ;D

6.1144% - Poser I was really hoping to score lower ;)

My low geek level relates directly with my lack of interest in science fictiin and fantasy. Never got into that stuff.
I do remember the geeks of the early 80s loving dungeons and dragons, solving the rubiks cubes, and going nuts with the new star trek.  

LOL! I got 100%--LIAR!


LOL!!!  :D ;D

17.55424% - Geek, which means I gotta stop looking for chicks in libraries. ;)

I was 5.something%-poser

6.90335% - Poser
I have to start watching more SciFi

Here's my score:

10.84813% - Geekish Tendencies

Lucky they didn't also ask about my ABD  ;D

To get a bit serious, even though this is the PPP, I need to question why being smart, informed, committed in a field makes one a geek?  To me, this is one of the major problems we face in the U.S. - a pervasive anti-intellectual attidude.  We project it onto our kids, discouraging them from learning because they get the idea that it is somehow "cool" to be ingorant.  I scored low on this because I'm not into the sciences, not because I'm not VERY well versed and VERY well read in my field (history, Latin America).  

I can appreciate the humor of this, and certainly don't want to suggest that the opinions of people less educated than me are of less value than mine, I do think that, if we do support the concept of "No Child Left Behind" than we need to foster an attitude that supports intellectual development, and stop disparaging those who pursue it as "nerds".  I know this is just a silly, fun thread, which is why I took the test.  Maybe someone would like to start a 2000's thread around this issue.  

"nuff said.  Back to the silliness  ;D
