I could only make 70%. The image is a link... 70% Geek 70%

Posted by: Demick Apr 11 2007, 10:17 PM

and you're proud of that?

I was 35% geek. But the deceptively low score is mostly because I've never been a fan of Star Trek (except for the original Shatner series, which apparantly doesn't count for much in the geek world).

Posted by: Gint Apr 11 2007, 10:19 PM

Damn straight!

I find it hard to believe you only made %35 Demick. But thanks for playin!

more of a computer geek growing up than anything else.

my dad had me plugging basic code into my Apple II+ in 1988 when iw as 8 years old. I could type faster than the computer's clock could write to the screen.

Never got into comic books or star trek.

Funny, if u took a "normal" person straight out of the 80s we would all be considered geeks due to our computer usage habits.

Posted by: John Apr 12 2007, 12:42 PM

You guys want the answers? It is flawed as I somehow ended up at 101% which is as we all know an impossibility.

Some of you mention Star Trek, but I believe only one question had anything to do about Star Trek. (The one where Ferengi have good hearing).

The quiz is also biased toward people my age or older who ALWAYS had to wait all night on the computer while downloading with a 300 baud modem...... It does amaze me that last night I could download that 80+MB video clip on here of "Rusty getting Punked" in less than 3 minutes. It took longer to watch it.

( and I beat the UNIX bigot that started this thread! )

I'm less of a Unix bigot then you are a windas bigot. I do have a Unix preference as far as an occupation is concerned.

I posted this thread from an XP box. I'm adding this reply on a different XP box. Later I might use my Macbook. Tomorrow I'll be doing a very strange Sun Cluster swap across 2 sets of hardware using a Dell PC running Solaris10. I've got a Linux box (2...3?) around here somewhere. I'll use whatever it takes to get the job done.

That's my I answered that OS question as "I use a bunch of different ones."

Edit: I knew DD would be up there!

Holly Shmolley! A 79% for me?

I dunno... I really don't consider myself _that_ much of a Geek. But I guess so. Maybe it's the differentiation between "geek" and "nerd". Okay, so some would say I'm a professional "geek" (gub'ment physicist)... But that would put some friends of mine waaaay above 100%...

I'm thinking of one friend who (and I kid you not) wears a BINARY wrist watch. Just a string of LED's. He reads the time as quickly as you or I would read an analog watch (my prefered wrist watch). He is definitely an uber-geek (and a very good friend). Another example, he has a Toyota Prius, and was very pooud when he got his custom plates... "DEL X B"... If you get it, you get some geek points yourself, if not, feel safe in the knowledge that you aren't entirely hopeless...

I gotta send him the link to that test and see what he gets...

At least DD is one point higher...
