34.714% – Total Geek
What!!!!!
I don’t understand…. not only do I worship at the altar of technology… but I have been doing so since early 82! I tithe more than 10% of my wages to the techno gods. I am a faithful handmaiden of the electronic deities.I introduced theBrother to D&D and Role playing over 25 years ago, sucked in all of his friends and helped him run a gaming shop. I can bootleg Citadel miniatures for heavens sake, even the plastic ones!
Not only have I been a member of the SCA, but I have an AOA, the last device approved with a dragon on it and held office! I was a herald for crying out loud.
I should have cheated. *sob*

Not too far off of you, thefrey, and I don’t have anywhere near your impressive geek credentials! 😉
My guess is that some geek along the line dropped the ball; they’re not very good with sports, you know (groans all around, I know).
17th September 2004 at 2:07 am #72860HeadgehogParticipantHa! Beat you both: 47.53452% [b]Super Geek[/b]. Now if this a good thing is another matter.
Must’ve gotten bonue points for being able to honestly say that I’ve designed and built a nuclear device 8)
30th September 2004 at 4:30 am #72926TieflingParticipantGah! That site! My EYES!
I got… 36.29191%
Major Geek…uh…so…yeh…
7th October 2004 at 10:01 pm #72964AnonymousGuesti only got 27.21893%. 😮 ok, i admit i know very little about computers, etc, etc…. unfortunately, there was no questions like:
[i]do you collect dragons?
do you own a massive Star trek t-shirt collection?
do you own a Locutus of Borg porcelain bust?
do you own script books for Star Trek TV series?
do you write original science fiction?
[/i]and, of course, there’s plenty of other stuff……
does that make me a geek, or just plain sad????8th October 2004 at 1:03 am #72967theFreyParticipantWell we are all Glad to be Sad. 😀
8th October 2004 at 4:42 am #72970lexxrobotechParticipantbah!
Im not a geek.
It just so happens that I, and some of my like-minded friends, are not part of the human race.
17th December 2004 at 10:48 am #73623MuadDibParticipantYES! 58.57988% Extreme geek! I rock!

17th December 2004 at 2:14 pm #73627SidhecafeParticipantWhoa…
geek envy…..so why do you suppose you check 5 boxes just for being a female of the species anyway???
Though I’m game to say we are from another planet.
17th December 2004 at 8:17 pm #73632MuadDibParticipantAs [url=http://www.userfriendly.org]User Friendly[/url] once put it: “A female who groks UNIX, my world is collapsing!” 😀

Huh?
I know I’ve not kept up with this geek thing for a few years but I still thought I’d be higher than that
18th December 2004 at 2:51 pm #73641theFreyParticipantI suggest we put out a hit on both Headge and MuadDib. Won’t improve our scores any, but it would make us feel better. 😛
Oh, and for gloating…. perhaps a kneekapping is in order before Muad meets that great geek in the sky. 😀
What do ya think ?
18th December 2004 at 2:59 pm #73642fluffy bunnyParticipantSounds like a plan, but given the nature of the test I’m not sure if they’ll miss their knees.
Just taking out their televisions should be enough 😛
18th December 2004 at 3:53 pm #73643HeadgehogParticipant[quote=”fluffy bunny”]Just taking out their televisions should be enough :P[/quote]
Now that’s just downright evil. But at least you’ll leave the computer alone.
19th December 2004 at 2:18 am #73659theFreyParticipantWell heck. I took this again, and this time came in just over, rather than just under Major Geek. But I also now understand why I am not scoring in the techo-geek-god range.
Age Discrimination!! Yes, that is it. Most of the questions are present tense. Do I own….. no, not now, but I did. Do you do…. again not now, but I did!
I spit upon this test! I have been there, done that, and moved into new forms of geek-dom that have not yet been recognized as geek traits. 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛
19th December 2004 at 10:13 am #73665MuadDibParticipantYou’re all going to hate me even more, I retook the test and got:
73.9654% – Geek God.
Now kneel before your God and worship!

25th December 2004 at 7:09 am #73674theFreyParticipantAh, I’ll live I guess. I shall just have to quietly savor my role as the early adopter for my little part of the universe and take comfort in the fine relationship I have with the Techno-Gods.
but… but… if the wording of the questions had been changed to ‘have you ever’…… 😛 😛 😛 😉
25th December 2004 at 10:34 pm #73724mysteriesoftheseaParticipantI am only 24% geek!

not a Geek Goddess, but me and my faerie coffee are still enjoying my morning.
1st January 2005 at 7:12 am #73765JhevzParticipantHi Fellow Sci-Fi Fans,
I’m definitely 95-100% Geek; I’m on the computer a lot; both in the morning (or whenever I’m awake) & at night untill midnight; since I use the family’s computer in my mom’s room, we have a mutual understanding that I can have the computer till midnight, then I have to turn it off. It’s fine since, I’m online every other day or every 3rd when I’m at work; plus, it gives me time to do other things, offline. I also like chatting online, posting on boards, posting Bulletins on Myspace, playing Spider Solitare, working on my web sites & a whole lot more; & I’m having fun in the process.Happy 2005,
Jhevz 😉1st January 2005 at 2:08 pm #73763iStanParticipantTotal Geek (29%). How disappointing. I was sure that I could do better than that.
11th January 2005 at 10:54 am #73850MuadDibParticipant[quote=”Jhevz”]I’m definitely 95-100% Geek[/quote]
I commend you for embracing your inner geek, we are Geeks; Resistance is Futile! Your biological and technological…on second thoughts given the usual geek shape we’ll just take your technology 😀
12th January 2005 at 7:59 am #73858BarabbasParticipant32.74162% First try… Let me graduate from DeVry and I’ll take it again.
22nd February 2005 at 1:33 am #74154TranceGemini613Participant60.17759% geeky…wow…I feel like I’ve reached the pinnacle of my existence.
How sad is that??!!
I like meeting people online…
Ya know what’s really scary? I’m only 21, and female…it really turns heads when I say “D-10” or “Ephraim Cochrane”…yay?
::Starts chant:: Go geeks go geeks go geeks go geeks!!!…
17th April 2005 at 10:10 pm #74593kokopelliParticipantIf anyone answered all those questions then they must be a geek.
The list was waaaayyy to long for a non-geek like me to answer.
I DO admit to taking apart every electronic and electrical piece of equipment I own. But they needed looking at.
That does NOT make me a geek.I do admit to falling asleep in uni with my programming books open and waking up 3 hours later to toss off my running shoes (because they hurt) and then falling back asleep still in my clothes.
I do admit to prefer working overtime on juicy projects than go out on dates.
I do admit to helping more than half my class pass their exams.
I admit to always carrying a Sharp-506P in my pocket.
…
I admit to many things but a geek I am not.
I will not go to Geeks Anonymous.
I refuse to discuss it anymore.ohhh trance…that’s really scary.
You actually completed the test??!!!
