Title: How Geeky are you?
Post by: Mefustae on August 10, 2007, 10:40:33 pm: Take the test (http://www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html) and find out!

Given the nature of the forum, i'm expecting +20% scores from all of you. Don't let me down!

Internet tests are fascinating. I once took a mental age test and scored 38 years. That was... four or five years ago. And I'm now 22. :nervous:

It calls you a liar!

Now, while I only got 20%, ticking every box out of curiosity adds at least another 5% or so.
Title: Re: How Geeky are you?
Post by: Polpolion on August 10, 2007, 11:59:53 pm: I bet you all I'm easily >40%. But it'll have to wait; it's almost one in the morning here.
Title: Re: How Geeky are you?
Post by: BloodEagle on August 11, 2007, 12:06:53 am: After some experimentation, checking the 'I lied' box gives you more points. So... you're rewarded for cheating. :hopping:
Title: Re: How Geeky are you?
Post by: Mathwiz6 on August 11, 2007, 12:09:23 am: Duh, because it implies you want to be, and embrace your geekiness as a good thing, making you more of a geek.

Playing AD&D as a kid probably doubled my score.

What does Geek mean? I no longer have a translator :blah: <---the fact that I don't know it might have influenced the results of this test :lol:

And the test was designed for 22+ years old people. I'm too young for graduation, job related stuff and academy groups.

I have been at this a long time, and some of it just wasn't true anymore, so my score is lower than maybe it should be, but I did give myself bonus points for my job, and my game company, so maybe it evened out.

Meh. In my profession (engineering) it's kind of hard not to be. You either love what you do (and embrace your nerddom) or it kills you before you ever manage to get your degree.
Title: Re: How Geeky are you?
Post by: CP5670 on August 13, 2007, 11:06:39 am: That's not much of an excuse. Mathematicians are worse in that respect, and I still got below 20. :D I suppose most of the questions in that test have more to do with popular culture than science though.

Good point. Modding should really be on the list. :)
