But thats just because a lot of the questions were about cell phones and I hate phones.
I am way geekier then that.

Your score is 51. Hurray! I can run a computer, and know how to run the software that fixes it =D. But I cannot fix it manually XD. Awesome! I wanna do it again!

[gyoza]

I'm 24, but the test is far too limited in scope. I don't have a cell phone (have a digital camera though) and don't own a TV (I share the lounge TV with my hallmates) so half of the questions were meaningless to me.

Oh well, it's a refreshing change to be a non-geek for a change. :P

The list of TV shows they offered you sucked... Battle Star Galactica? WTF... I chose the OC, and I despise that show, I chose it, though, because, if I was on a stranded island, I'd rather watch hot girls than watch X-files.. blech..

[Shamu]

I got a 50! Woohoo! I know stuff, but I'm not an uber geek :P

Two words: Grace Park.

Two words: Grace Park.
Umm what show is she on? I think I saw her in the hottest Asian girl thread... If I remember right, she was foine.

[gyoza]

BattleStar Galactica ;)

There's an original and a remake, both are pretty good shows. She's on the remake.

Newsweek is not a credible source to determine your geekdom to start with. If it was Wired, maybe.......

Besides, I couldn't see the quiz on Safari- had to drag out the Firefox.

A bit higher then I thought I would be.

Same exact thing with me (same score, too). Well I don't hate phones but I don't use my cell phone like ever. I use the computer most of the time or regular phone.

They should have broadened the questions about WoW.
If you have a character over 40 in WoW and actually saved enough to get your mount right away... well that's bonus points :)
If you have a custom UI such as Cosmos or Nerf... you get the point.

I wouldn't have taken anything on the lists of TV shows, movies, or books, and I don't read comics (not even Archie!). That quiz sucked.

[MeneerDijk]

This is ofcourse a silly test like you'd find in a magazine, the kind you take when one is really really bored waiting at the dentist or something. But it does raise an interesting question in my mind. What actually is a geek or a nerd? According to this test a nerd is someone that knows what comics there are out there and knows how to handle electronic appliances. If i look at other media a nerd is someone that is socially inept and wears glasses. What is a nerd to you? And would you be offended if someone called you a geek or a nerd?

What a load of crap, the cellphone questions completely bork the test! Its completely a cost issue for christ sakes! if components were available for slapping together my own cellphone and running it on my own network with only geekfactor and time being the requirement I would blow this test a new ass.

I was born in a BBS gawd dammit and I call shennannigans on this tests:mad:

This is waaaaay too limited.

7. Do you have a home network?
No
Yes
Yes, and I know how to fix it if it stops working

I don't have one at home, but I do know how to fix them. Needs to be an option for that.

10. If you were stranded on a desert island, which TV franchise would you prefer to take with you?
'The X-Files'
'Battlestar Galactica'
'Star Trek'
'Doctor Who'
'The O.C.'

There needs to be an 'other' option for this and ALL of the 'if you were stuck on a desert island' questions.

Incidentally, I answered The OC on that one. Because of the chicks.

Your score is 19
0 to 29: Stuck in the Last Century

I definitely would have scored higher on a more involced test, but the phone questions don't apply to me since I don't own a mobile (that's cell for you Americans), and the other questions are for hardcore nerds, like D&D, etc.

[Annie]

58 .. Heading to Geekdom :/

Oh well...if I had the time to learn geekier things I probably would do it

[Jiant Flying Panda]

and the other questions are for hardcore nerds, like D&D, etc.

lol yeah, D&D is pretty far out there. I don't even think nerds today play D&D. Thats like so old school. If you play D&D in 2006 then you need to get yourself an Xbox360 and play yourself some Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Haha

[Orclover]

Man the obvious answer is the entire "Dr. Who" series. Hell theres something like a thousand episodes stretching across 10 different Doctors and several dozen seasons. Hell I heard once that there were more Dr. Who episodes permanently lost than there were Simpson episodes ever made. And when your done viewing them all in order after a year or two you can stick em together and make a boat.

LOL, I felt the same way. The only reason I chose the OC was because it was the only one that could be used for spanking material, worst comes to worst. The rest of the shows were just lame, same thing with the video games.

Oh, and I got 30.

[Jay]

GTA was the only good thing in the video games part.

I guess those shows/movies/games/etc are what geeks like, MSNBC style. :P

I boycott this quiz. It's ass. I would kill myself if I was on an island with that shit to keep me entertained. I'm sorry, what a crappy quiz.

Hey, I play D&D, and, checking my calendar, it is indeed 2006.

Yeah, but you only play D&D because you're old enough to be part of that generation. All the young whippersnappers today play CRPGs, which any older geek will tell you aren't really RPGs.

When we were young, we had to walk five miles through the snow in order to play RPGs. Uphill. Both ways.

[Pierrot le Fou]

Damn straight. And we had to construct our own D20's out of papier mache.

[El_CJ]

My score is 53. That test was lacking in choice, and deserved the 1.5 out of 5 rating it has.

32.54438% - Total Geek. That would be reasonably fair, I guess. I suppose in the grand scheme of things, I'm not as geeky as I feel, considering how I don't associate with many (read any) super geeks and am thus the geekiest person I know. Disappointed at the lack of "quoting Star Trek" choices, especially considering quiz two had "quoting Yoda."

[hanacker]

12.2288% geek.

[hanacker]

Yeah, but you only play D&D because you're old enough to be part of that generation. All the young whippersnappers today play CRPGs, which any older geek will tell you aren't really RPGs.

I did both when I was a kid. I might still play D&D if I had anyone to play with.

[Jay]

Oh drat, someone with a lower geek score than me.

[Poma]

I took this stupid quiz a lil while ago, and like everyone else I think its stupid.

Nice idea, but it was obvious they had no idea what questions to ask or what choices to give.

Score: 67

Just because Im an IT person, and can fix my own computer issues, does not mean that I'm a geek....does it?

Maybe im more of a Nerd?...that sound kinda harsh.

I'll stick with Otaku...But... I don't really smell, and do shower, and my room is not filled with pvc models...well 3 Gundam kits, and I dont even like Gundam that much, just like puting stuff together.....

In the end... This quiz sucks

[Klilynkun]

Some questions lacked options like which video game would you bring and which game and tv series you would miss
The only game I knew was GTA and all the games that were in the miss list where crap
And I only knew star trek and x files in the tv series but they suck so I picked doctor who even if I don't know what it's about >.>

edit: oh i didn't notice the small number
wtf I got 14 i should get lower rawrrrr I bet it's because I chose crossword and doctor who but I had no choice the rest sucked too much AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

And 3% transfatty acids.

The test, she is not coming up. But I'm pretty sure that I am of the geek category. Btb, X-Files> The OC. I have enough issues with white people acting emo and crying as it is. If I was stuck on a island, I'd rather watch somebody gettheir head eaten and not have to watch who gets pregnant that particular week. D&D is pretty fun, but will almost never amount to a good RP. I have no idea what social class I be in. Tis very complicated.
