Geek Test

I get

22.28797% - Geek

I swear I'm more of a geek than that, but I was let down by not giving a fuck about computer stuff or star trek..

More questions about music and sci fi books and I'd be the geek king..

I know nothing about computers or Star Trek... I'm surprised I even scored that.

Rounding down, I'm 22% geek (and I bet I got 5 of that % just for being female). Boo!

Don't feel too bad, Rizla. Most of those questions were of the "nerd" variety, and had nothing to do with being a "geek".

Didn't stop me from scoring a 45.56213%.

THAC0. Ha!

40.03945% - Major Geek.

I agree, nerd based, not geek based. I remain grumpy that the math/science/computer geeks have usurped the term away from the lit/theater/classics/history geeks, although this quiz did seem to acknowledge Latin and Theater as viable geek enterprises.

Wow. I thought I was a lot worse... I did check a lot of boxes too... I am in awe of moriarty.

I don't understand. I only got 27.0217%. This is not good enough.

Baz, don't forget that Ghastly Cupcake beat me out. Or that I checked off the "have you exaggerated in this quiz" box.

I'm quite disappointed really. I'm also very interested in how you count to thirty-one on one hand. I've tried, but I can only get to 19.

Hold up all four fingers and thumb... 11111.

Use your fingers as binary switches, on being up, off being down. So, in order, they correspond to 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. So you can count to 31 on one hand or 1023 on both.
 
 
the Fool
03:40 / 13.06.03
18.73767% - Geek. I'm just not as geeky as I imagined. All that watching of star trek has come to naught!

09:17 / 13.06.03
I'm 27.614% geek, which is surprising to me, because I thought that I was, like, totally fucking cool. I guess knowing a lot about Star Trek doesn't pay off...who knew?

Fortunately(?) there was more of a bias towards Star Trek than Star Wars... otherwise I'd be some kind of ubergeek.

Oh... I just counted each bone in my fingers twice forwards, then backwards, and then my palm. I thought it must be more complicated than that.
