Another goofy quiz: turns out I am a total geek, not to be confused with the geekier major, super or extreme categories. Seems on the mark. And, go figure I missed some items as well. That whole following directions issue plagues me from time to time.
Posted at June 2, 2003 02:45 PM | TrackBackI thought I was a stealth geek (http://www.swcp.com/~diamond/sg-faq.html), but, no, I too am Total.
Not a bad test, actually -- covers a broad range of geekish fields. Though several questions (especially knowledge questions) are gimmees for an ex-physicist.

Not even close, but does it count that not doing well made me feel bad?
It seems I fall into the Extreme Geek status. I am not sure whether this should amuse or terrify me. Moreover, I think my wife knew this before we married. I am very sure that it amuses her.
Hmph.

They do cover an impressive range of types of geekiness.
Posted by: Janni on June 3, 2003 12:06 PMThe librarianship thing and a weird past ended up pushing me into super geek.
Posted by: ack on June 3, 2003 01:17 PMI tend to spend time on hands-on pasttimes (gardening, house repairs, quilting) which aren't classified as terribly geeky, although they all focus on how things work. Which, like computers, is why I enjoy them.

I was pleased to see that the quiz didn't assume that your occupation and interests were exclusively technical or science fiction-related. Sounds like there's some actual sociology in there.
