Like Happy Cindy, I took the Geek Test, but scored a mere 23.27% Some affirmations got especially close to home.
- I own a computer currently running on Linux. (Ubuntu 5.10, but think I might get a discard and play with Debian.)
- I married someone that I met over the Internet.
- I play Devo. (I’m playing Q: Are We Not Men? A: We are Devo! right now, and it was in the CD drive before I started the test.)
- I wear glasses I have repaired myself. (Not this pair, though they should count on their own merits.)
- I know how to count in hexadecimal.
- I know my age in binary. (100100.)
- I have created a listserv.
There are a lot more, but obviously not enough to match Michelle or Cindy. Feh.
LOL. I love the glasses!!!
I wore a cheap knock off of these http://www.shuron.com/sidewinder.htm in the early 90’s.
I welcome you to the geek club.
I’m so excited that you were listening to Are We Not Men?… I’ve always loved the way the album art is labelled actual size.
Dude,
I scored under under 10. I sent it to Rebecca who will record a higher number no doubt.
11.04%
I thought I was doing pretty well until I reached Warhammer. I was at the mall recently and ended up talking to the guys at the Warhammer store for half and hour. I was shocked that there was a Warhammer Store. Serious flashbacks. I kept saying “I thought warhammer was dead!”
Computers, however, I find incomprehensible…
Oh yeah, I think Rebecca probably knows what Warhammer is…
28.82446%: Total Geek.
Yes, I know what Warhammer is, and I used to work with one of the designers. And I am a librarian. And I have argued Mac vs PC. And I read dictionaries for fun. And I….oh, never mind….
As I told Cindy, I’m ashamed to report that I scored only 14.2%. When I was much younger, I would have scored higher. Those were the days! In fact, when I took the test last time — in October 2003 — I did score higher: 15.7%! My geekiness is waning…
