  Re: geek test
 
(...) 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. BTW I'm trying to talk like the comicbook store guy from simpsons (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I got 39.25049% - Major Geek. Not enough geekish media consumption. Steve (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) 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
 
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
 
(...) 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
 
(...) 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
 
(...) 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
 
(...) 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
 
(...) 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
 
(...) 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)

(...) 14.39842% - Geekish Tendencies for me. -Tim (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: geek test
 
(...) 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
 
(...) 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
 
(...) 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
 
(...) 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)
