apparently so
I came out with 33% geek. Will get Marcus to do it – he should have a much higher %
Laughed aloud at question 11: “Have you ever taken something apart with the intention of fixing it or re-building it to make it better, stronger, faster? (This could be anything: your lawnmower, some source code, laptop, etc.).” Had to answer “Yes but I broke it :-(” !
i had the same answer! i think it was the scifi that did for me!
I am disappointed with my husband. He only achieved 39%
He had to answer Q11 “No, but I read the manual a bunch of times”.
Thought he was much geekier than that.
Truth be known I think I’m more of a Nerd! Alternatively, it may be possible that the “Geek Factors” that are measured in this particular survey are not relevant to my Geek quotient. Where were the questions about learning the languages in Lord of the Rings for example?
Unsurprisingly high. 84%.
65% – which is plenty enough for me. So does that mean I can tell you to sort out the computers next time H?
I find the most interesting thing about these questionnaires is how various questions contribute – is reading lots more books geeky? I had to Google up 1.61803399 to find out why that was Geeky (it’s the Golden Ratio), pleased I had no idea who shot first
I had to google the shooting, although I did guess Han as I couldn’t work out who any of the others were.
I’d like to see the points given to the answers actually, because that shooting one, I guessed. And I’ve been wondering since last night which was geekier, the Golden Ratio or pi!
think it must be the golden ratio?
It’s my favourite because it’s given the symbol ? which is tau, and my parents had a dog called Tau
And, it makes for nice windows, y’know.
i have liked the golden ratio since i learnt about it as a kid – pyramids, classical greek buildings – must google to see if erecthion one! anyway, i chose it!
have to love the pet names – more erudite than our whiskey and guinness!!
can only find that the parthenon is.
I think to have a debate about whether you are a geek or a nerd is worth an extra 10%!! How many elven dialects??
Just the one but over 20 years ago now so he would need a refresher course.
Actually suspect it was over 30 years ago but he thinks he’s much younger than he is. He has the same issue with his height (he thinks he’s taller) and his waist (he thinks it is much smaller!)
So far they’ve had Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Zeta (that was my grandparents’ actually), Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Chi, and Omega.
8 to go …
of which Mu the best name…
They put off Mu for ages, thinking it was too cutesy
I can imagine the dilemma – follow the greek alphabet with what everyone will think is a naff name unless you perpetually say it is Mu, and just came next! or miss a letter – aargh no!!!!
I got a 13%–so definitly not a geek. As I don’t like sci-fi or technical type of things I’d say that was right. So when did geek just come to identify a techy type of person? Anyone found a test for a nerd yet??
