The Geek Test

[_Puppetmaster_]

Hi, I'd like to know who has taken the Geek Test and what their scores are.

The Geek Test (http://www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html)

This is my score: 48.32347% - Super Geek

[drakokirby]

I got 8.48126. Im a poser

[Flickerdart]

16%. I am ashamed.

[wadledo]

18.14597%
I is slightly more geek than yousssssss.:smallbiggrin:

[drakokirby]

thought i would be a major geek, but compared to all those geek stuff, not even close

[reorith]

29.98028% total geek :(

no wait. 30.17751. i forgot to check asimov.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

18 point something... and only really because I read sci-fi books and play D&D.

[Proven_Paradox]

49.6%. Take that.

[Tom_Violence]

7.5! Nice. :smallbiggrin:

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go take a shower. My participation has made me feel all dirty.

[Cobra_Ikari]

45.95661% - Super Geek

...awesome. That was a collosal waste of my time. :P

[reorith]

7.5! Nice. :smallbiggrin:

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go take a shower. My participation has made me feel all dirty.

showering is environmentally unfriendly. just use the febreze+axe combo like the rest of us.

[Ryuuk]

13.6, I just have Geekish Tendencies. Might change when I start mecatronics though.

[Phase]

25.44379:smallconfused:

I expected more

[wojonatior]

i got a super geek a long time ago when i did that

and can i sig this l
V


showering is environmentally unfriendly. just use the febreze+axe combo like the rest of us.

[Ceska]

12 something percent. According to that test, my father would be at around 30% or more. :smalltongue:

[RandomLogic]

39.44773% Super Geek

I'm almost disappointed, considering how much stuff I checked.

[SpiderMew]

57.00197% - Extreme Geek
And i was being honest

[RTGoodman]

31.55819% - Total Geek.


Most of that is because I read a lot.

[Skippy]

68.99619%

I should begin to worry.

[Mando Knight]

Major Geek: 35.89744%

I'm not quite over-geeky yet...

[wxdruid]

23.4714% Geek I'm merely a geek with aspirations to become a total geek

but my favorite question was...

I want to be (or have been)...

a meteorologist

I am a meteorologist. :smallbiggrin:

[Haruki-kun]

11.43984% - Geekish Tendencies.

Not too bad!

[phoenixineohp]

30.17%
I don't see anything wrong with that. Some of those boxes are compulsory, in my mind at least.
And those 5 boxes for being female are highly amusing. :smallbiggrin:

[darkblade]

34.51677% not as high as I thought but high enough to gloat about.

[AmberVael]

I got 8.48126. Im a poser

Ditto. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

[Aereshaa_the_2nd]

I got 18.93491%. Meh.

I'm a programmer, but I don't know s#!t about star trek or LOTR.

[Kyrian]

19.13something%

[Icewalker]

I love this test but it's really out of date. Missing lots of new stuff, like the new BSG on the list of shows.

29.78304%, Total Geek. Not bad. I had to put in things that I will have done by the time I am out of highschool/college (LAN Party, PhD, etc)

[SMEE]

40.03945% - Major Geek.

Within the expected range.

[Skippy]

I love this test but it's really out of date. Missing lots of new stuff, like the new BSG on the list of shows.

It also lacks the Zeroth Law of Robotics...

[Lord Blace]

24.26036% - Geek
Hrm...

[Flickerdart]

18.14597%
I is slightly more geek than yousssssss.:smallbiggrin:

Oh yeah? Well...uh...my round creature avatar of choice is better than your! Take that! :P

How are you people getting 50s? You must all make robots for a living or something. Robots created to engage in Star Trek VS Star Wars arguments.

[Jibar]

I'm only 13.60947% - Geekish Tendencies

I don't know if that's good or bad...

[bosssmiley]

54.63511% - Super Geek.

I know far too much geek trivia and old school stuff. :smalleek:

[Istari]

13.41223%

I am ashamed i didnt get more

[Rockphed]

I don't own or haven't been to most of the really geeky stuff on there and I still got a 44.97041%:smallfurious: I even corrected all the lies and exaggerations that I made to see how high I could push my score!

[Narmoth]

17.15976% - Geek

The fun part of this is that I found movies I should check out by doing thsi test.

But I think (hope) that I should scored lower. I Checked the box for "read russian litterature". But Russian is my native language, although I don't live there, and good Russian books are hard to come by.

[Jae]

13.80671% - Geekish Tendencies

haha isn't that about the lowest?

:smalleek: Im starting to think Im marginally out of place on this site

[Zar Peter]

21.something% ... obviously geeky enough to take this test :smallbiggrin:

[Cobra_Ikari]

13.80671% - Geekish Tendencies

haha isn't that about the lowest?

:smalleek: Im starting to think Im marginally out of place on this site

...perish the thought, hun. You obviously aren't exaggerating / lying enough. Try harder! :P

[Emrylon]

5. something I'm a poser :p

[Shas aia Toriia]

38.06706% - Major Geek

Not as high as I wanted. . .

[evisiron]

26% - Total Geek

[Mee]

I got about 53.someodd%
Should I worry?

[LightWraith]

25.44379% - Total Geek.

I find this acceptable.

[Mc. Lovin']

13.8, It's gone down! :D

[mercurymaline]

59.56607% - Extreme Geek

Holy crap. *shame*

[smellie_hippie]

Not as bad as I thought... but also not as good.

I scored: 30.37475% - Total Geek

[Ceska]

Dad had 31.36095% :smallbiggrin:

[TRM]

13 and change.
... but only because I know about literature and play RPGs (and I want to be an economist :smalleek: )

Srsly, I don't think I checked more than ten of the sci-fi or computer boxes.

[Illiterate Scribe]

A mighty 5.41% (but surely rounding to the standard 3sf counts for this?!).

Well.

I don't know whether to be depressed or relieved.

Probably relieved.

[Zaragon]

42.60355%

I lied on one question, though. I've never built a go-cart. I've built a REAL car (several in fact), so I figure that should count :)

[Grey Paladin]

31% :smallfrown:

[teennerd4684]

EXTREME GEEK!?! Is that freakin' all?

I demand a new test.

[Archonic Energy]

Not as bad as I thought... but also not as good.

I scored: 30.37475% - Total Geek

40.03945% - Major Geek
*slaps hippie with a herring*

NI.

[EmeraldRose]

29.98028% - Total Geek

I could think of lots of stuff that may have changed it, although programming is not my thing.

On second thought, that stuff I could think of may be more nerd-like...:smalltongue:

[DanielX]

25.83826% Total Geek.

I'm disappointed in myself... I can't be just 25% of a geek... but then a test where getting 10% qualifies as being "A Geek" must mean the people who get 90%+ are total "Renaissance Geeks" (in the 'Every way a geek' type)...

[B-Man]

33.72781% - Total Geek.


Frankly, I feel ashamed with my score. Maybe I'm a little less geeky than I claim... even despite correcting my English teacher on spelling and grammar...

[Cubey]

23% - Geek. Pretty standard. I'd be ashamed to score less, and worried if I scored more.

[Mando Knight]

Robots created to engage in Star Trek VS Star Wars arguments.

As soon as I saw this, I thought of two such robots: C-3PLore and R2-Data2

Scary, huh?

To get 100%, you probably have to have married a geek after breaking up with someone at a dance in a Star Trek convention, and also be an officer in both the SCA and your local Anime Club, Sci-Fi club, and the 501st. And debated whether Aragorn, Picard, or Luke Skywalker is the best modern example of an epic hero.

[Scorpina]

Wow, only 20.9073%. I fail.

[KoboldMight]

4.14201-poser i read books... sue me

[Lira]

13.01775% - Geekish Tendencies

I expected to be geekier than that. :smallfrown:

[Lemur]

29.38856% - Total Geek

That actually sounds about right, although I still find myself envying the 40+ crowd.

[stolenchariot]

48.32347%, thought I woul;d do better

[Rogue 7]

22.68%, Geek, edging towards Total Geek. And that is with knowing nothing about programming and only recently really indulging in my geekiness, not to mention missing out on a lot of the classic geek things. I could check off that I knew who created the 3 laws of robotics, but not what they were off the top of my head, largely because I haven't really read Asimov. I'm content, though.

[Parvum]

5.32544% - Poser. Fradulence! How am I to examine the entirety of the human social structure if I am found insufficient in my masterful mimicry of geekhood? I demand a recount and an execution of the former writer.

[rubakhin]

About 9%.

*mumble* and I take offense at the Russian literature question.

[Flickerdart]

Well, it's harder on those of us that speak the language. Because, you know, the original books are actually GOOD (War and Peace excluded, but that was half in French anyways)

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

At lest I got Geekiness in general. Anything else would have been unnatural.

26.23274% - Total Geek

[Gorbash Kazdar]

56.01578%

I don't whether to take pride or shame in that. Probably both is the correct answer.

[Edan]

46.54832%

I accept that I am geeky, but I never thought I was "that" geeky. I must go learn to program so that I may increase my geek xp.

[rubakhin]

Well, it's harder on those of us that speak the language. Because, you know, the original books are actually GOOD (War and Peace excluded, but that was half in French anyways)

Haha. Yes. Most people tell me to skip it, so I don't feel too bad about this, but when I tried to read it, it was like -

*gets War and Peace*

*opens cover*

[WALL OF ****ING TEXT IN FRENCH]

*closes cover*

*puts book away*

*reads Hadji Murat*

(Now, I like difficult books - to the point of masochism - and I do in fact read French, but damn it, Tolstoy, that was uncalled for.)

[Jagg]

24.79% JUST below Total Geek

I am ashamed

[Collin152]

19.9211%
I'm just a geek.
It could have been worse.

[Malic]

35.89744% - Major Geek

I should have had more :smallamused:

[Mauve Shirt]

20.11834 - Geek

[Nohwl]

13.02% i was expecting higher.

[Rockphed]

40.03945% - Major Geek
*slaps hippie with a herring*

NI.

*Cuts down Arconic Energy's Tree with a Herring*

Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing gdgbgd!

edit: I got a 97.4359 by lying about almost everything on that test. I bumped it up to a 98 something by claiming womanhood.

[Hell Puppi]

46.15385% Super geek


...I'm bad at math

[Kjata]

2.36686% - Poser Nerdy Prep.

Yeah... OOTS and my past ****ed it up.

[Trazoi]

54.6%. But I am a game programmer turned computer science grad student, so it's to be expected. :smallamused:

[Em Blackleaf]

50.69034%- Super Geek.

Wow. I hang out with my brothers too much.

[DarkLightDragon]

16.56805%-Geek

Is that good or bad?

[Collin152]

Is that good or bad?

Yes it is, but I'd lay low among outsiders and Outsiders.

[Elrond]

Wow i didn't think i was that geeky:smalleek:

82.24852% - Dysfunctional Geek

[Rockphed]

Wow i didn't think i was that geeky:smalleek:

82.24852% - Dysfunctional Geek

Out with it! How much did you lie and exagerate to increase your score?

[Squidmaster]

21.49901% - Geek, but I alreadt new that.:smalleek: :smalleek:

[Chronos]

Only 59.76331%, which is disappointing... On the other hand, I'm much more of a nerd than a geek anyway (and yes, I do make the distinction). On the gripping hand, though, that test was testing nerdity more than it was testing geekiness.

It's a bit dated now, but I think that the old Armory 500 question (http://www.armory.com/tests/nerd500.html) nerdity test gives better results.

[SoD]

28.20513%-total geek. Yay!

[InaVegt]

69.23077% - geek god

But, why do females get more points, we can be just as geeky, ya know.

[Vaynor]

41.61736% - Major Geek.

Meh, just about what I got last time I took this...

[Dumbledore lives]

19.52663% Geek

About what I expected I suppose, I never got into Star Trek or anything like that.

[FoE]

21.3%. I feel like dunking my own head in a toilet.


Wow i didn't think i was that geeky

You're named after one of the frickin' supporting characters in LOTR!

[blakyoshi7]

22.28797%

When I saw 'I lied on this test to score higher' I checked it because doing so made it true.

[Da Beast]

I got 13.60947%. That seems a little low.

[ForzaFiori]

33.13609% - Total Geek.

i dont know whether to be ashamed or happy.

[unstattedCommoner]

16.56805% - Geek

[V.Z.]

20.11834% - Geek. Hmm, a bit lower than expected. :smallbiggrin:

[Bag_of_Holding]

23.07692%-Geek. Hey, I do play D&D you know. :smallbiggrin:

[Diva De]

Awww, crap...it didn't copy like I wanted it to...

Anyway, I was 39.something% - Major Geek.

Wow, I don't FEEL like that big a geek...and I certainly don't LOOK like that big a geek. *shrugs* Meh, oh well.

[Raistlin1040]

11.04536% - Geekish Tendencies

Hmm. Thought I would have scored higher. Oh well.

[Felixaar]

26.42998% - Total Geek

Whee? I'm more of a dork, or, if you will, dorkus.

[Rogue 7]

21.3%. I feel like dunking my own head in a toilet.


You're named after one of the frickin' supporting characters in LOTR!

*chuckles*
bucko, you're on a D&D forum. You're very much in the minority here. My username, for example, is from Star Wars- I'm a big Rogue Squadron fan. My other preferred username comes from the Warhammer 40K fandom. And I only scored about a 23 on this test. Having the name Elrond doesn't mean much.

[SilentNight]

22.3784%-Geek. Seems about right for me.

[thubby]

30.57.... total geek

yeah, just about what i was expecting.

[Mando Knight]

But, why do females get more points, we can be just as geeky, ya know.

Females get bonus points because apparently far more males actually are geeks. Here at Missouri University of Science and Technology (MS&T), we've got a 3:1 male:female ratio. And it's a tech university, so it's obviously far geekier than most...

[GrassyGnoll]

32.1499%- Total Geek

Aw, so close to Major Geek too. I swear I'm the geekiest person I know, how could I score so abysmally low? I've made people cry at math competitions for god's sake! I feel dirty.

[Brickwall]

19.72387% - Geek

I checked "Flat-out lied to score more points" even though I didn't, which makes that a flat-out lie to score more points, which makes it true, thereby negating...

Obviously, I made sure to check "I can think of other things that should get me points on this test" all times.

And I still got ~20%.

Just plain wrong.

[Mando Knight]

It's a bit dated now, but I think that the old Armory 500 question (http://www.armory.com/tests/nerd500.html) nerdity test gives better results.

That thing did not age well. Who uses MUD anymore? E-mail and 1337-sp33k are no longer quite as geeky... and refers to TSR Hobbies with the parenthetical note of them being "the D&D people"

...and those RAM amounts are abysmal... unless you're Strong Bad.

...and I can honestly answer #415 as a yes, since I worked the night shift last summer...

[Draken]

17.94872% - Geek

Hmm... Not unexpected since i am a total negation at actual computation and a bit behind on the quantity of books avaiable down (or up) here at the equatorial line.

[InaVegt]

That thing did not age well. Who uses MUD anymore?

I do. . .

[sheepofoblivion]

23.07692% - Geek

[Zeb The Troll]

38.06706% - Major Geek

That's about what I expected.

[Dallas-Dakota]

46%! wooohoooo! Super Geek! Do I get super geek powers now?

Ok.... I feel it that IS weird.....

[Indon]

32.54438% - Total Geek



But, why do females get more points, we can be just as geeky, ya know.

If you hover over the word "female" in that line, it reads roughly, "The M:F ratio for nerds is 10:1. A 1% advantage is fair."

Of course, after discovering that I went back up through the test to see if there were any more easter eggs. Then I checked a box in the general series because "After discovering the popup box after hoving over 'female', you went back through the test to see what you might've missed" would so totally be a question.

[Keorn]

49.11% Super Geek!

Yeah, that's about right. :smallsigh:

[Glawackus]

41.42012%

I've taken this a bunch of times, and my score always comes out to be right around this point. Biggest "oh, boy, here we go" moment came at the authors section. Click click click click click. :smalltongue:

[Capt'n Ironbrow]

Out of pure honesty I ticked rather few boxes and got

14.39842% - Geekish Tendencies

Now, if I had been more into series beginning with Star- and computertech...

[Ceaon]

8.08679%: Poser.

...
That can't be right.
I mean, I'm on this board!

[Shademan]

10.25641% - Geekish Tendencies

OOOH-YAH!
not geeky enough to never get laid, but a healthy dose of geekdom!

[WalkingTarget]

50.09862% - Super Geek

[whitemane]

44.18146% - Major Geek.

Geeky enough... but still functional in the real world...

[Satyrquaze]

38.46154% - Major Geek

[Bayar]

I got 9 and something...not geeky enough...

[dehro]

34.51677% - Total Geek

gawd!:smalleek: I was expecting way less than this..

[Telonius]

48.52071% - Super Geek. Probably would have been higher, if I had any head for math.

[Ganurath]

40.63116% - Major Geek

It's not my fault that my ICS teacher failed me for completing the final project in four lines of code when he expected forty.

[FireFox]

37.47535% - Major Geek

they shoulda asked about FireFly...

[dwagiebard]

23.86588% - Geek

I checked 3 boxes for "can think of other things that you should get points for" or whatever.

[Jayngfet]

21.89349%

geektacular.

[Mr.Bookworm]

65.08876% - Geek God

...

I don't know how to feel about this...

[Inhuman Bot]

66.46943% - Geek God. At age 12. Ouch.

[Ethrael]

Why did he call me a poser? Why???

[Vella_Malachite]

37.47535% - Major Geek

Wow. That is high. I'm seriously more nerd. The authors section was the best. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I have corrected a professor, yes I do like programming...

[Aranai]

35.10848%. I am shamefully nongeeky. D:

[_Puppetmaster_]

66.46943% - Geek God. At age 12. Ouch.

:smalleek:...:smallfrown:...I wish I had that rating...nice...

[Meynolds]

50.29586% - Super Geek

And don't you forget it!

Just out of curiosity, I checked all the boxes and it gave "100% - Liar!"

[Lolzords]

29.98028% - Total Geek, that's good, I guess.

[Natania]

34.51677% - Total Geek
wow never expected that. I don't think anyone in my life thinks of me as a geek including moi...
anyway I only scored that high because I read a lot, play d&d, watch loads of movies and know that the answer is 42 :smalltongue:

[Agamid]

35.50296% - Major Geek

[Kosmopolite]

32.34714% - Total Geek

Pretty cool test.

[Zarrexaij]

40.63116% - Major Geek

Not surprised, really. I'm a little bit more nerd and dork, though. :smallwink:

[Terraoblivion]

17.55424% - Geek

Kinda disappointing really, though it was quite skewered towards science geekery leaving all us humanities geeks behind.

[Aereshaa_the_2nd]

40.63116% - Major Geek

It's not my fault that my ICS teacher failed me for completing the final project in four lines of code when he expected forty.
Wait, WHAAT!! How'd you manage that?!?!

[Terumitsu]

40.03945% - Major Geek

That was about expected. I wish it had an area for the things that you wanted to do but hadn't gotten around to yet... That might bump it up a bit.

[AnonymousOne]

38.06706% = major Geek.

Alas, most people wouldn't know it, I'm preppy as hell.

[Vouru]

4% apparently I'm really not a geek at all sweet?

[Groundhog]

35.30572% - Major Geek
Oh Yeah!

[Saint Nil]

30%-I'm only a total geek. Not a bad score, but I must take more levels in geek. Mabye find a nice Geek presitge class.

[sapphail]

29.5858 - damn, and that included the female geek bonus. I'm only an aspiring geek. I thought I had more geek cred than that.

[Thanatos 51-50]

23.4714% Geek I'm merely a geek with aspirations to become a total geek

but my favorite question was...

I want to be (or have been)...

a meteorologist

I am a meteorologist. :smallbiggrin:

Approx 24 %. These were my favorite brand of questions, as well. METOC ones! Yay!

[truemane]

36.29191% - Major Geek

I was doing okay until I hit the "I have seen..." and the "I know about..." sections. I've never been as much into computers and fringe phenomena as many of my geek friends, but I know all the lingo.

And I've seen ALL those moves at least twice...

[OverdrivePrime]

47.73176% - Super Geek

I think I scored that high because I'm a moderate geek across a very broad spectrum. And then intensely geeky about a narrow focus.

I should probably have about ten points knocked off for having only conceptual knowledge about most hard science stuff. Once we get into math beyond basic calculus I start to flounder. Either that or zone out and daydream about fantasy worlds.

[PaladinFreak]

45.36849%, Super Geek!

[Amiria]

34.51677% - Total Geek :smallbiggrin:

[Winterwind]

Huh. Only 24.06312%. Now that's unexpected... :smallconfused:
That's not even enough to qualify for Total Geek, only for a regular one! :smalleek:

And it would have been a lot less, even, if not for the I Know... section.

[Iudex Fatarum]

58.97% I fudged some questions but thats only because I only had one year of high school before I dropped out and went to college (so I have never nor will ever take chem). I'm somewhat disappointed they didn't include own and use a slide rule. They also didn't mention much about DnD only GRUPS. oh well.
