holy obligation?

You know, there are some things we should know about ourselves. Our percentage of geekiness may be one of them...at least for Those Who Blog.

You are 57% geek
You are a geek. Good for you! Considering the endless complexity of the universe, as well as whatever discipline you happen to be most interested in, you'll never be bored as long as you have a good book store, a net connection, and thousands of dollars worth of expensive equipment. Assuming you're a technical geek, you'll be able to afford it, too. If you're not a technical geek, you're geek enough to mate with a technical geek and thereby get the needed dough. Dating tip: Don't date a geek of the same persuasion as you. You'll constantly try to out-geek the other.

48% -- I'm a geek liaison.

I am also a geek liason. Did you see the Ultimate Geek story on my blog?

63% geek, baby! (I think it's the Weird Al that pushed me over the edge. That and the introversion) Chicks totally rule in this quiz, because while your Geek Icon is Drew Carey, mine is Jodie Foster! Go me, go me, go go go me....

The senses are tigers.

When a timid man catches sight of them,
He runs for safety to the nearest cave,
To practice control and meditation.

Here's mine:

"You are 41% geek. You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator."

I am not a geek. I have no shame.
You are 18% geek

OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you.

66%. Geez.

I thought all bloggers are geeks.

13% Geek, and my icongraphic representation was Arnold Schwarzenegger? Ohmagod.

Posted by: Frank at February 4, 2004 01:53 AM

20% geek and I also got Ah-nald for my icon. No shame here. You bunch of nerds... :)

Nerds? Oh my. Them's fightin' words, Ryan.

Frank, there are no OT questions on the test. I think that kicks up your geek quotient a mite.

Arnold. Yeah. More like Arnold Drummond.

I seemed to luck out. My celebrity for 18% was
Drew Barrymore.

Posted by: Teresa Wimmer at February 4, 2004 09:31 AM

Heavens. Ryan doesn't know the difference between a geek and a nerd. GM2 doesn't seem to be helping a bit. :)
