View Full Version : How Geeky Are You, Really?
goofyfish 06-10-03, 11:03 AM I appear to be a rather broad-spectrum geek.
http://www.innergeek.us/geek.html
Also, what questions do you think are missing? For one thing,
I don’t recall any relating to Red Dwarf or Dr. Who… some
of my friends would have been screwed on that category alone.
As for The Fish: 56.41026% - Extreme Geek.

This test didnt cover much. Lots of questions didnt even apply to me as i am not old enough. Know this- I AM THE KING OF GEEKS!!! BOW DOWN B4 MY GEEKINESS!!!W00T!!!
janeelsa 06-13-03, 11:18 PM I got 10.059 (does it mean I'm more geeky because I didn't just say 10%?) But there's a lot of stuff on there that I'm, like, I want to know that! Why don't I know that? And what the heck is a yurt? And how do you pronounce 'linux'? Is it like with an 'i' as in 'linus' or with an 'e' as in 'lean'? And.... I didn't even understand some of the questions! I'd rather be more geeky if it means having more knowledge. But why is that? Why why why?
mountainhare 06-14-03, 08:24 AM I got a 24.26036% - Geek. I was rather disappointed. I believe that anything under 90% is a fail. :(
swooper 06-14-03, 12:20 PM in "linux" the "i" is pronounced as "in" and the "u" is pronounced as "under"
janeelsa 06-14-03, 12:40 PM My thanks, your Majesty (she cursties), but dost thou know also what the word 'yurt' doth mean? Prithee, explain, if thou wouldst be so kind :)
swooper 06-14-03, 12:50 PM a yurt is a circular tent used by nomads in siberia. ok ok, I admit, I looked in the dictionary. Ive never wanted a yurt, But I've always wanted a house where the walls are made of circutry. Then I will have the fastest computer on the planet and I shall no longer be king of only the geeks, but the entire world!!! And this is my plan for global domination. when i take over, you will need to have a certain IQ b4 u can get a drivers lisence, and things will b smart.

Dear LORD! The TV shows got me, and the movies got me. That stupid StarTrek movie rule got me (If you don't know it, then PM and I will tell you about it). That quiz is why Im the mod of SciFi. Although they should list a few more shows/movies on there. I could think of about 50... OH GOD IM GEEKING OUT!
The fact that I have a computer running MandrakeLinux doesn't help. No, it doesn't help at all.

I believe my title and signature speak for themselves. You are confusing Us and Them, Wes.
The definitions that I accept as being enlightened and absolute (because it's convenient for me to do so at the moment) say that the difference between a geek and a nerd is that nerds are the way they are because they are hopeless and unable to be any different, whereas geeks are capable of being mainstream but just choose to be geeks.
Geeks read the Journal of Irreproducible Results, laugh at technical/scientific jokes, and always make sure the tolerance bands of resistors are on the same side of any boards they construct. Geeks like to get drunk and discuss obscure technical ideas.
When nerds drink, they often comment on how neat it would be to have a jet powered truck like Buckaroo Banzai. Nerds are hopelessly incapable of getting laid, so they blame it on their alleged geekyness, hoping that aligning themselves with such a cool group will provide a front for their hopeless nerdyness.
Wes. Friend. I think you should abandon the leadership of a lost group that openly expresses their fondness for UNIX.
:D Peace.
wesmorris 06-24-03, 11:35 AM I'm feeling.. compelled...to become... oh christ!!!!!!!
Geek Overlord?
Nah, it just doesn't sound as cool. Besides, my title is really a gift for Allah's Jihad man.
This of course all leads to me having to dispute your definition in order to justify my assertion. Hmm... I would say that technically I'm a dork.
I'm into computers, science fiction, videogames and CAD software though.. so obviously I'm a geek. Now, you say geeks are such by choice, avoiding the mainstream given a distaste for it.
Hmm.. once geeked, is it possible to degeek? If you could would you be internally compelled to regeek? Can one transform from geek to nerd? I'd almost say that nerd - given your description - would be the pinnacle of the geekly transition. Nerd is in essence, all the way geek - and then some ;)
Geek? Nerd? Come on now, they're both dorks right? Even if you're an involuntary nerd you're surely a dork eh? Certainly there's nothing dorkier than "getting drunk and discussing obscure technical ideas" eh?
I, wesmorris, transcend nerd and geeks and embody the true spirit of both in a culmination of dorkedness never before possible (thanks to PC's): Nerd Overlord
SURELY that makes me terrifically geeky... really!
:D
:m:
All right, it has to be said. Why would a geek quiz give you the answer in decimal???
wesmorris 06-24-03, 12:41 PM In case you didn't pass it. :D
damn goofy thats impressive. who would have thought
CounslerCoffee 06-24-03, 01:32 PM Geeks read the Journal of Irreproducible Results, laugh at technical/scientific jokes, and always make sure the tolerance bands of resistors are on the same side of any boards they construct. Geeks like to get drunk and discuss obscure technical ideas.
Sounds like me. Here's an exaple:
Friend: I have the internet to. (Or something like that, I was drinking)
Me: Oh wait, you have aol?
Friend: Yeah, what's the matter with aol?
Me: Just that it doesn't support java. *Laughs and everyone looks sharply at me* What?
- major geek -
a bit disappointing really, just when i start to embrace my geekness I discover im only about 37% geek.
MY WHOLE IDENTITY IS CRUMBLING AROUND ME!
Fun test though, they were quite thorough.

Fafnir665 06-26-03, 03:39 PM I wallow in my own geekiness. Others Wallow in it as well. I was suprised at the overwhelmingly large number of affirmative answers I had to give. Here I was thinking that I'm not too big of a geek, yet all the things that I used to identify myself as not being such, were pale in comparison with the evidence to the contrary.

I'm not taking that damn test. It's way to long and the guys didn't even make it cool. You'd think a geek test would at least have star trek theme music playing in the background or something. Christ man, nerd me while I'm proving my nerdiness damnit!

Geeks don't need artificial stimulous. Maybe this is the difference between a geek and a nerd, stimulation?

There's nothing artificial about Star Trek music. :D
Fafnir665 06-26-03, 09:58 PM You can't hear it in your head? When I think Star Trek, the music just starts....
swooper 06-26-03, 10:13 PM i liked the music for the older episodes of ds9 alot more than the later ones. THE MUSIC HAS BEEN DEFILED!!!! it sounds like some guy in the background is beating a pan with a stick and all the notes start b4 the others even finish. what the hell were these people thinking?

Since I am labled as a "Dysfunctional Geek" by the test, I do not see myself fit to rule, so I will allow wesmorris to keep the title uncontested.

Being the MOST Nerdy doesn't mean you're fit to lead the nerds. :)

:D Peace.
just did a search. There's hundred's of geek tests out there -- including this one (http://kzsu.stanford.edu/~dougm/Humor/95/October/GeekTest.html) (which I did not get)
wesmorris 06-27-03, 04:17 PM Okay, I took A geek test that wasn't quite as long. 62 questions I think:
The Geek Purity Test
http://www.campusnut.com/ptest.cfm?tid=7
The Result is, You are:
62% geeky!
There are 28591 tests submitted
Thanks for taking our Geek Purity Test. You may or may not be impressed with your score as 653 scored higher than you.
How others compare:
0%same as you
54% less geeky than you
2% more geeky than you
I noted that the percentages above don't add up to 100%.
Regardless if 653 people scored higher than me, I'm above the 97th percentile. I believe that makes me eligble for my self appointed title damnit.
Oh and Goofy, baby.. I DO NOT lie. :D

Yeah, you just had performance anxiety bro. You're a freakin geek, I can tell. I think you're automatically classified at 50% or better if you're posting on sciforums daily. ;)
Take the other test and see how you fare. Don't deny your geeky destiny. ;)

"sheeshkinnens"? that's freakin tight. how cute! "quiggy geekette"? WOW, you are easily the geekiest thus far. Well done Twinkie, well done! (and 'huzzah' on the way out? oh man you're good)
Wow...agreed. I may be asking Twinkle Toes to marry me soon. haha Don't find many girls THAT geeky. What section got you up that high? Or are you just an over all around geek?

Twinkle Toes 07-02-03, 05:20 AM You guys are so sweet! I didn't even think 61.7 was that good of a score for a geekette. Gosh, I'm blushing, heeh!
What section got you up that high? Or are you just an over all around geek? Well, I re-took the test to properly figure what I scored better in...
I HAVE... = 30/40
I HAVE BEEN... = 21/38
I HAVE (2)... = 21/38
I HAVE READ... = 20/28
I WANT... = 15/28
I BELIEVE... = 5/8
I ROUTINELY WATCH... = 13/28 (This one's just low because I currently am without cable. When my parents had cable when I was a little kid, I used to watch some of the shows routinely, so I checked them)
I HAVE SEEN... = 23/23
I OWN... = 31/55 (I don't have a DVD player and don't want to play them off Dexter [my laptop])
I WANT TO BE... = 9/11
I LIKE TO... = 25/31
I PLAY... = 16/30
I WEAR... = 15/22
I COLLECT... = 9/13
I HAVE (3)... = 14/40 (I admit it: I lack in computer skills! But at least I'm willing to learn, dag nabbit)
I KNOW... = 21/35
I KNOW (2)... = 15/25
Judging by my results, I think I'm a pretty well-rounded geekette. By the time I move out of this apartment and can pay my own bills, I'll be functioning as a full-fledged dysfunctional geek! Pazzah for alliterated oxy-moron 8^P!
In fact, when I re-tested I noticed that I had skipped a few of the questions and also misread some of them. So my actual score is 62.52465% :D
Oh, and about the 'freakin tight;)' word choice: I make up a lot of the words and phrases I use. "Quiggy", "sheeshkinnens", "cool-o", and "who gives a dingleberry" are the ones I use the most (I'm also known for "dag nabbit, nibble on a rabbit", but that's just too weird). I do use words like "nifty", "spiffy", and "tubulor" just as often though.

I scored a 35.89744%. I think that the role playing and scifi killed my score, I like some and have watched most, but not regularly. I am to busy reading about real science and learning aabout real things. Isn't that geekier? I think geek is chic and most of the other things on the test are just nerdy. While I'm at it I think of dork as plain uncool people. A nerd can be cool, and a geek can be very cool, but not a dork.

i understand what you mean only its the other way around for me. all day long i listen to people talk about computers etc. at work, and some of the things they say make me want to stick a ptyrigium stone through my forehead. like the other day when my boss was talking about the computer they are setting up at work. she proudly announced, "oh, I dont have windows. I have XP." but i dont say anything, it gives me more chances to laugh at her when she tells other people. she thinks im completely computer illiterate. the other day she apologized for not showing me how to turn off the computer before she left, and then gave me a verbal pat on the back for figuring it out on my own. ...

I am very proud that my geekiness comes neither from genetic or environmental factors. I am an entirely self made geek. Does that make me a loser?
