    geek test —Bruce Hietbrink
   Hey all, I was sent this URL: (URL) fun. I actually only ranked at 32%, which surprised me. Bruce (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: geek test —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) 60.35503% - Extreme Geek kinda scary, I didn't think I was that geeky. (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: geek test —Dave Schuler
      (...) Geez, you're out of control! I scored a whopping 21.49901, and most of that was due to "I have read" and "I have seen (2+ times)." Dave! (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
     
          Re: geek test —Richard Marchetti
      (...) I scored: 36.09467% - Major Geek BUT, I think some of the stuff was quite vague and overly general. I probably scored as high as I did because of the wide range of things that interest me at least a little. For example: I have watched and even (...)

         Re: geek test —David Koudys

         Re: geek test —Bruce Schlickbernd
     (...) 40.84 Major Geek Admittedly, I never once took a gratuitous answer just to up my score, and in fact never once admitted to being a geek, but even then, if you out-geeked a computer game designer then you are truly A Lost Cause. ;-) -->Bruce<-- (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
   
        Re: geek test —Jennifer L. Boger
     Quoting Bruce Hietbrink <bnh@chem.ucla.edu>: (...) 48.32347% - Super Geek I don't think I fibbed on this one - though, technically, I can't *find* my GURPS book. (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: geek test —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) Just knowing what it stands for gets you some points, though, you know. And I didn't need mine to pass the "2 or more games, WITH expansions" tests... Note that while Bruce rounded, you and I left our answers in their 5 decimal digit glory... (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
     
          Re: geek test —Bruce Hietbrink
      (...) But as a couple of my answers were fuzzy at best I didn't think the precision of the test merited 7 significant figures. ;) I ran into a couple of issues: --My job led to a lot of my yes answers (I'm a professor of organic chemistry), so maybe (...)

          Re: geek test —Chris Phillips
      (...) Except that I scored a 40.8484% Major Geek, so I don't know if I actually out-geeked you or not. (Bruce-- for rounding? Chris++ for caring.) - Chris. (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

          Re: geek test —Frank Filz
      Hmm, only 30.57199% for me. But then there are some major geek areas I just don't get into. I don't do computer games (any more), video games, movies (much - though I have seen a small handfull multiple times), TV, and more. (...) Hmm, a married (...)

         Re: geek test —Bruce Schlickbernd
     (...) If you can't find at least three different editions, then you are a poser! And add to that a number of expansions Steve gave to me...for business reasons! And the pre-cursor to GURPS! -->Bruce<-- Doing my best to dig a deeper hole for myself (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: geek test —David Koudys
     (...) I tried to answer truthfully... 57.19921% - Extreme Geek But questions like 1 or more game consols then 1 or more game consoles pre NES... Do I check both? 'Cause the game consoles I own are only from before NES... And is "Pong" considered a (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: geek test —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Yes. I think the methodology is you check everything that's true. (...) No, but you get style points for having it. (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

         Re: geek test —Erick Jensen
     (...) I got 29.5858% - Total Geek I thought I was going to be the lowest. Only 14%?? Do you even watch star trek? I didn't check very much on there and I thought I got a low score.

        Re: geek test —Maggie Cambron
     (...) I scored 24.something percent-- and that included five checks for being a girl! (Didn't have time to mentally record the numbers after the decimal because I had a math class coming in.) Maggie C. (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: geek test —James Brown
     (...) When I took this a week or so ago, I was somewhere in the 35% range. I sent it to my wife and she broke 70% - I'm not that surprised, I always knew she was twice the geek I am. <grin, duck> It's a fun little thing. I would probably score (...)

        Re: geek test —Matthew Miller
     (...) lot a *nerd* test, not a geek test. And I lost some points for things like "turn on my computer first thing in the morning", which only shows that the *author* of the test is not geeky enough. (Why would the computer be off? And if it were, (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: geek test —Jennifer L. Boger
      Quoting Matthew Miller <mattdm@mattdm.org>: (...) I noticed that! I agree, this was a nerd test - and indeed, real geeks can usually get by with Geek Code - where my true poserness shows up, except for the being a girl part, I'll still win points (...)

         Re: geek test —Ken Koleda
     (...) Hello, 35.7% for me. I seems highly weighted for gaming either computer or other. I did fudge a bit on some things that I 'used' to do but don't now. I was honest though on some I thought I might know the answer to, but was not 100% sure. I (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
