Somebody suggested that I take this sort of geek quiz, but it turned out to be short and not very exciting, and the measurements resulting from it were pretty inaccurate (due to the fact that it was so short). So I turned to my old friend Google to help me out, and he pointed me over to the Geek Test, which is much more authoritative and extensive. It consists of 507 questions covering many topics. While I am already aware that I’m pretty hardcore when it comes to geek (you don’t normally have a Geek Code at the bottom of your website unless you are), I scored 35.101% on the test which puts me right at Major Geek. I didn’t even make up more than one or two responses on the quiz so that number is actually very accurate. I’m interested to see how other people score on this, I’m sure Matt will hit pretty high because he’s all about the roleplaying, and Dwight can snark a few points for his comic-book love.

I think I may have fudged a bit. Because I scored higher than you (by .007) and lord knows that’s not possible.
35.10848%

Yeah, you must have. Although I had you pretty far along the path, back in the day. It’s too bad you turned all “liberal arts” on me.

I can’t express the shame I feel at my score… I retook it to make sure… only 23.0168% I must seriously contemplate my place in life now.
May 23rd, 2005 at 2:57 pm
Ah. I retook it and I think it’s a little more accurate: 28.99408%

So uh yeah, I got 22.045%, only because i’m a girl though, and NO Eric I did not lie… I think it’s time for you to admit just exactly how cool I am…. what is that chess score by the way? :)

What does gender have to do with anything? I know a few girl geeks.
May 25th, 2005 at 5:47 pm
Right. I know a few girls who would probably score higher than me. Ergh, more shame…
May 27th, 2005 at 12:13 pm
Being a girl geek gives you more points. Didn’t you see at the very bottom how you get like five checkboxes if you’re a girl geek? It’s ridiculous! However, I think it’s fair because geek girls are so rare and in such high demand.

Hmmm, I took the test and was labeled as a “poser” since I only got 7.29%. I probably only even got that high because I was, for a brief time, a physics major.

No posers allowed.
Geeks only.

I like geeks…

I just took this again and got a 43.78698. Alright! In just two and a half years, I’ve increased my geekiness by over 8 percent.

%33.3 (repeating). I don’t think I know enough about Star Trek to really be the old school geek that this is testing for, but it’s still (unfortunately) accurate.
