....However, I feel that one's geekiness can increase over time, and I only hope that mine does.

Its my feeling that I have only begun to realise my full potential for geekiness.

With the help of "The Force(tm)", I want to free my inner geekiness from its confines, and find the true Geek within. Then, and only then, will I be invincible.

Hmmm... I probably missed out a lot considering I:

A) Despise television
B) Despise anime, roleplaying, and "most" D&D style non-CRPGs
C) Am not into most fantasy literature / star trek / star wars
D) Have no clue about celebrities of any kind


I got... 35.30572% - Major Geek

Much the same here Soul, though I do know a little about some of those things, most of my points were in the tech questions.

Wow, and that's with running your own personal server farm at home.

It really makes me wonder what scoring 43.78698% - Major Geek means. Global domination must be factored into that score somewhere. Bill Gates, look out.

There are many kinds of Geeks, not just Doctor-Who-Watching-Star-Trek-Fanboy-Giant-Breast-Obsessed-Weirdos like me !

We are a bit like the Dominion from Deep Space Nine, we are made up of lots of different races.

But the Star Wars fans are usually running everything....

Hey now! Geeks can be jocks too!

I wasn't exactly a jock, but I was on the wrestling team and cross country for a number of years... it was extremely fun.

And from the pictures thread, I've noticed most of the more "hardcore geeks" at this forum are people you'd have no clue were total dorks in walking waking life. Looks like a bunch of hippies, ravers, rockers and surfers to me! Good looking chaps, not the pasty dweebs you'd imagine.

I never said I wasn't a geek, just that most of my points were in tech and not TV.

Had there been more B5 questions and maybe some Dr WHO questions, I would have scored much higher.

LOL...

I would fashion myself as a lot more jock than geek. I've lettered in 2 sports in my previous 2 years of high school.

But I suppose the right question would have been "How Geeky Are You?"
