Think Geek

OK, I'll admit that...my skin barely sees enough sunlight to make the vitamin D I need to survive, I spend nearly every waking hour with my nose buried in a book or the computer, and I have sudoku on my phone...but does that make me a geek?

One of my best friends sent me a link to a geek test, because she was curious about my score. (Does that make me a geek?) I was curious too...so I took the test. She felt it was a crime I didn't get 100%, but I was shocked that I scored as high as I did. Take the test, leave a comment with your score (please...I want to see), THEN read on.

I must admit, I really don't know what is geeky...but this quiz brought up a few things that I would like to address:
  • Spending time on a computer for fun, does not make you geeky. It's what you do on said computer that makes you geeky. I am sure that there are plenty of non-geeky things to do on a computer...I just don't enjoy any of them.
  • ***SPOILER ALERT***James Maxwell could have been a lucky guess. You're not geeky till you know what he's famous for....and can derive it in less than half a page.
  • This is a very tech-savoy age...who doesn't know how much RAM their computer has.
  • A high GPA doesn't necessarily mean geeky...you may have majored in underwater basket weaving.
  • Yes, the real element is there...OK, that was geeky.
  • Why does only having a few friends make you geeky?
  • Those pointy ears stick out!
  • Just because I choose a TI over an HP doesn't mean I'm geeky! True the HP is the better calculator (at least they were when I was buying calculators), but they speak backwards Pollock.
  • Just because you know that they are programming languages doesn't mean that you know what to do with them.
  • Multi-colored notes are pretty!
So, have I been dethroned?

Jeramie you will always be the resident nerd! LOL that being said: 60% are less nerdy than me.

In my denfese on the 'second' generation geek test, I scored a maximum of 60%.

(Your score is broken into many 'geek' catogories. The link is at the end of the parent test, should you want to redeem yourself.)

Jenn said...

although it was kinda funny to think I was 40% nerd, I did take the next generation test and it said I should have the non-nerd badge and be proud.

Jenn, dear...I hate to point this out, but...if 60% are less nerdy than you...you are significantly more than 40% nerd.

Congrats on the recount.

Jenn said...

fine I am nerdy and dumb (is that an oxymoron?) I admit it said I was 61%, but now I am exhonerated and I am now an Non-Nerd! so neener neener :P :)

LOL! Love you too.
