Random Quiz-o-rama
May. 14th, 2003 12:27 pmJust to show how much of a geek I am in more ways than one (The quiz can be found here):
You are 74% 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.
Sounds about right - I'm just below the "dude you're perilously close to being a nerd" cut-off point. The difference between geeks and nerds? Geeks who aren't socially capable are thus because they don't care enough to bother. Nerds just can't do it. Furthermore, nerds are generally split into two groups: squirrels (they stay in their room reading books or playing computer games and not interacting with human beings - most geeks go through this phase, actually, and there's a inplication of "they might be able to learn if they bothered to try") and mutant squirrels ("people we *wish* would stay in their rooms and read all day" - they've usually discovered MMORPGs and other ways of playing video games with other people, much to the determent of all of the other players, and/or are too oblivious not to hit on you when you tell them you're not interested, generally requiring a beating and even *then* not always getting it). Least this is how my friends and I generally defined the difference way back when. . .
