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 some of those aren't as geeky as if I did them in my private life. Of
course, the fact that I chose this career is inherently geeky.
--Especially with the TV shows, there are a lot of things I did when I was
single that I do not do now, not because I don't want to follow all of these
sci-fi shows, but because my SO doesn't. I went with a yes vote if I used to
follow the show (especially since most of those are not on the air now and I
watched them faithfully all through their initial run: Bab 5, X-Files, DS9,
ST:TNG).
--Also, my main two areas of geekiness--LEGO and Tolkien--were only briefly
touched on (one question for LEGO, two for Tolkien (three if you count the
question on artificial languages)).
