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??

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!!!!

They put off Mu for ages, thinking it was too cutesy

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.

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!)

Just the one but over 20 years ago now so he would need a refresher course.

I think to have a debate about whether you are a geek or a nerd is worth an extra 10%!! How many elven dialects??
