Rate Your Geekiness…
Posted by Jim at July 28th, 2006
I ran across a test that allows a person to rate their geekiness relative to others who take the test. Does this improve my life? I’m not sure.
That being said, one of these days I ought to write one of these online surveys. As someone who did a masters that included significant amounts of training in survey design and analysis, I can’t read one of these things without critiquing them the whole way through.
I only got 80, which surprised me.

I was surprised that my score was as high as it was.

I only got 28. What is wrong with me? I’m just a wanna-be.

The test seems to lean heavily toward physics/math/computer science as the definition of a geek. They could have (but didn’t) include stuff like reading science fiction or fantasy, certain tv shows (Babylon 5, Star Trek, etc…), or playing role playing games.
As such they lost a lot of people who probably consider themselves geeks.

29. Well, I beat Joe. With a stick.
