If you haven't taken the test already, do it now.

I expect to see a drekker or two land a spot in the top ten.

By the way, I'm 47.33728% geek, if anyone's interested.

Hmm. Guess I need to watch more Star Trek or...something.

Hahaha...apparently I should have watched a lot more Trek and/or played with a calculator more

Hmm.

Adam · Post by **Adam** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 3:55 am

39%?! I'm kind of ashamed.

It's because I don't really watch TV on my own volition, I think. *nods sagely*

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 4:09 am

Hm, I think my geekiness has increased, I'm now 42.60355% - Major Geek. The last time I took it, I was around 40%.

Bow before me! At the time of this posting I am the Alpha Geek.

Based on that score I would be ranked 5th in the current top 10 but the guestbook is down so I cannot post it.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 6:16 am

I'm in the top 20, but not the top 10. Sections like "I wear..." and "I believe..." cost me a lot of points, while "I have read..." and "I know..." I scored quite well on. Go figure.

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 6:33 am

35.7002% - Major Geek

Mainly because I don't really collect anything, or watch any Japanese cartoons.

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 12:32 pm

Yeah. Mine's not higher because I'm a non-participatory variety of geek, and a lot of the questions were about which geeky clubs and teams you've been in.

That, and Australian high schools don't even /have/ shit like "A/V club" or whatever...

Damnit, Alareth has usurped me as Alpha geek of Bulldrek!

In the I've Watched (2x or more) section, did anyone else select every single movie?

MooCow · Post by **MooCow** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 1:55 pm

13.99014% - Geekish Tendencies

It's my blatant computer illiteracy (compared to most of you at least) that that killed me. And it's going down. I was at like 15% last time I took it.

Dear god... I'm becoming normal. I think that's worse then cancer.

That's not geeky, that's just weird.

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 2:23 pm

It'd certainly arrest the encroaching normality, though.

I know but I never seem to be able to find it when I am thinking about it, either its already out or they just don't carry it. I should just break down and order the damn thing.

I scored massive points all over. I also checked the five boxes at the end because not once, anywhere, did they mention anything about playing classical type instruments. Band Camp, my ass, it was ORCHESTRA CAMP! ORCHESTRA! Bwahahahahahahah

How the fruit did I make the top ten? I suppose it's my extensive knowledge on Star Trek. I own the spec manual to the Enterprise D

65.08876% - Extreme Geek

And once I have money so I can buy those movies on DVD... and I can get some pets... then I shall become dysfunctional.

I haven't seen The Fly or any Kung Fu movie before 1980 2+ times, though... I could get a few extra points quickly that way.

And if I get a sex-change operation...

The Eclipse · Post by **The Eclipse** » Sun Dec 21, 2003 12:14 am

52.14675% Geekishness

I checked some of the extra point boxes because I feel that I should gain extra points because I built a scale replica of the Golden Gate bridge out of legos that took up the entire living room of my college dorm room.

18.93491% - Geek

Hmm... I didn't do too well because my TV watching is too sporadic. And I dress along the mainstream. And I don't know nearly enough compu-tech.

I'm disappointed, but only because I need more Compu-geekiness if I want to move along in my job.

And I think my Star Trek knowledge is the only thing that pushed me into Geek, instead of just tendencies.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Sun Dec 21, 2003 6:47 am

Yeah, on good days I can remember a few people's names from Trek, so that pretty much blew half the test right there

51.87377% - Super Geek

I'm disappointed. I covered all of the movies except the Kung Fu flicks before 1980, nearly all of the TV shows, a fair amount of the music, and the majority of the books. I guess the science questions killed me, as well as some of the math geek related material. Also, I'm not a coder, so that hurt some as well. Damn.

The Eclipse · Post by **The Eclipse** » Sun Dec 21, 2003 6:27 pm

I used this test to legitimize my ability to count in hexadecimal to my wife.

I had 59.someodd percent, but closed the window so my daughter could take the test.

She scored 46.someodd...mostly because so much of the questions are before her time.

Beat that, Anguirel!

*Looks up*

Uhhh... I think I did. Unless this is that new math.

Most of the trivia and such is probably before my time as well -- certainly I know of most of it through re-runs and watching tapes (Beta Hi-Fi!) or, more recently, DVDs and computer rips.

The techie stuff -- well, I grew up on a computer. I was programming by around 4 or so. If you count writing shape and picture programs in Logo as programming. If not, then 6 for Basic. So... yeah.

Your exteme geek-fu is powerful, yes, but can you also spawn major geekage? Until you have topped that feat, your geek-master status is merely... personal.

I'm working on it. I need to geta SO before I can even begin on that, though. I'll get back to you in, oh, ten years... Maybe a bit more.
