How Geeky are you?
It often occurs to me that I'm a huge geek.
I quite seriously told my BF that he could get me a REAL Storm Trooper costume instead of an engagement ring. I know what an AT-AT is. I like to have people creat calculus problems for me to try and solve (oh yeah..don't forget chemical equations!) one of my favorite websites is thinkgeek.com I know why this phrase is funny: "There are 10 types of people in the universe. Those who understand binary, and those who don't" I have the iPod font. I collect fonts. I have more email addresses than shoes. I want to buy the scrolling LED badge from thinkgeek.com I have been with wilweaton.net I am always the first person people call/email/frantically run to when they have computer problems. I own more video games (and am better at them) then my BF.

now that I have worked in the cell business for a while I took an online quiz and was classified as a cellphone geek. I know what MNDs, ESNs and MSIDs are
WLNP compatible, upgradable and non upgradable also of course 2g and 3g but I have no idea what At-at is I have no interest in video games but my kids love them and they are better at them then I am.

I'm an English nerd. I hate it when people mix metaphores and when commercials have either spelling or grammar misteaks. But I'm clueless for computer and cell phone stuff. (I'm one of the last people alive without a cellphone...)

You really need to look into Geek Chic and take the Geek Test at the Rocky Mountain News . . . . .
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drm...177038,00.html I'm obviously a geek for even knowing about the above link and for posting it . . . . . . and for being obsessed with the new Battlestar Galactica (So Say We All!!!). Not a big Star Wars fan though but I can probably tell you the colour of the planet the Enterprise is circling if you name any of the episodes from the original series made in the 1960's.

Here's a cool test that explains the difference between a Nerd, Geek, and Dork and has an on-line test that ranks you.
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?te...30990046738815 I qualify as Pure Nerd (65% nerd, 8% geek, and 13% dork). I am an engineer! |

I'm "Joe Normal". Apparently I scored about 1/3 of each Nerd, Geek and Dork (slightly more Dork than the other two ... should I be admitting that in public?? ).
Hey, JJ, were you the one I was talking to about Ducatis once before?? I lost track of that thread.

I am Joe Normal according to that test. It shows I am more nerd then anything else.
So I knew it... all my life I knew I was cool.... This just confirms it

well there is not a geeky bone in my little ole body, i swear there isnt... but that stupid test is a liar, its saying that im over 50% nerd, nah im not, i just liek to be aware to put in a nice way.... stupid test, its a dork really...
quote- 'I quite seriously told my BF that he could get me a REAL Storm Trooper costume instead of an engagement ring.' and there is absolutly nothing geeky about such a request, if i had thought of it i would do the same, nothing about starwars is geeky, its all just rather cool actually i must admit that i find myself rather cool to an extent, i am very much the individual living way outside the mainstream, and to me thats just very cool. and as a scientist i have found the real geeks are mainly botanists, yep their a bunch of geeky nerds, have you ever seen one run, its a cak, and i find it does not matter the nationalilty either, they seem to have this arm in, duck waddle run about them, its like their trying not to run but trying to walk at a faster pace, odd really but funny to watch. i have always derived joy out of watching groups of botanists run, you gotta see it, its hilarious (and no apoligies to any botanists out there, you think your cool and thats what counts really)... and to me if i think im rather cool, thats all that counts. couldnt give a rats arse what the world thinks, and i think thats even cooler really. so bugger the test, im a friggin legend in my world, ha ha oh yess i am...... but as for the rest of yas, what a pack of geeks and nerds, lol

This is what it told me.
Tri-Lamb Material 52 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 65% Dork but it gave me a paragraph about being a nerd and didn't say anything about dork and the percentages don't add up???

43 % Nerd, 13% Geek, 30% Dork = Joe Normal...
There might be some overlap in the criteria? Like some geeky stuff is also nerdy? and maybe some of you isn't any of the above? Maybe? But then analyzing this probably makes us more nerdy... |

I'm a mix between literature geek and computer geek, I help out with editing papers, read books all the time, enjoy Chaucer best in Middle English but am on call computer support for all of my family and friends. I also still play Ultima Online and occasionally Guild Wars or Star Wars Galaxies (do you play raingirl?).

Modern, Cool Nerd
69 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 21% Dork LOL, I think that is how I would consider myself. Raingirl, As soon as I read that you wanted a REAL Storm Trooper costume and you knew what an AT-AT was, I almost fell off my chair laughing. You are a rare find and your BF is lucky to find a high quality GEEK like you. My GF has accepted what I am, but still looks at me with a blank face when I talk about some stuff. |

Joe Normal
30 % Nerd, 4% Geek, 39% Dork Well I think I fall mostly under the dork category. I had to answer yes to the one that asked if anyone occasionally commands if your shoelace is undone, or if you have food on your face. I also trip lots especially over Joey, I actually tripped over Joey once in the kitcen fell on the dishwasher door and broke it off its hinges. So I think I would fit well under klutz category.

69% nerd
34% geek 26% dork That sounds about right to me. I actually thought I might be a little higher on nerdiness and a little lower on geek and dork. But I'm not surprised to favor nerdiness. |

JJ, I've pm'd you to avoid hijacking this thread.
Papillon, I think you should retake that test. There's no way anyone can be 100% dork-free. There must have been a glitch in the system.

I absolutly know what an AT AT is. Star Wars is one of my favorite movies, I do have fights with my kids about episodes I, II and III. I don't think they live up to their potential but thats just me.
I am a pure Nerd 56% nerd, 47% Geek and 30% dork That's a good thing right?

Star Wars is great, but I must say I never thought about buying a costume. lol, yet. |
