The Geek Test

58.93746% = Extreme Geek

Razorfish · 11-04-2003, 01:39 PM

I don't believe this has been listed yet:

Touchgraph

I thought this was a pretty neay Java app. NOTE: you need the JRE Java manager for it to work (its a free download).

Wow, I only got 45.16765%, Super Geek. I'm taken aback; I must be getting less geekly in my old age. Well plus I would've scored extra for some older things that weren't on the test. I mean, I would have cleaned up if...

Have you ever used a DEC PDP-11 computer? Yes
.. With a punch card reader? Yes
Have you ever used a VAX computer? Yes

sycamore has obviously never done anything cool, like watched MST3K.

(I got major points, I think, mostly for all the computer stuff and my love of history/learning. No Star Trek though.)

15.38462% - Geek

Not as high as I feared, but not as low as I hoped. Turn turn turn.

perth · 11-04-2003, 04:20 PM

Not sure I should admit this:

55.22682% - Extreme Geek

Though that really might be high. Items like "I collect comic books" probably assume I have a basement full of carefully collected and stored comics. I don't. I buy them, read them, toss them in a box and let them sit until I decide to read them again. I only collect them in the sense that I could never bear to part with them.

I admit I'm a geek, but "extreme geek" might be taking it a bit too far.

38.6587870% - Major Geek.

I don't have permission on this computer to install java...

freaking netadmins *winks at coliano* so I can't hit the cool google search thingy.

But have you guys seen

visual thesaurus?

Really Perth... you can come over here and LAN sometime, but only if you turn off the stupid fake lightsabre. You can bring it but don't switch it on. Only one warning or you will be banned from the server room.

perth · 11-04-2003, 05:10 PM

Well, I can take comfort in the fact that wolf's got me beat.

And I don't need to bring the lightsaber as long as I can make lightsaber noises.

"Fwoooo-wooo-waaaanwah!"

xoxoxoBruce · 11-04-2003, 05:25 PM

Less than 16% in the geek test but 209 HERE Bwahahahahahaha.

Anyone catch the new Simpsons this week? The one when Bart gets the time-stopper watch?

I love when they're coming after him and Millhouse, and they've got shotguns, shovels, axes ... but the fat comic-book dude (I forget his name) has a lightsaber. I laughed so hard at that for absolutely no reason.

I only got a 117. Bruce gets two guesses at which portion I got the most points from.
