postmoderncriticHow Geeky Are You? Quiz
February 19th 2007 05:39
DuskDevi was kind enough to send me a link to this How Geeky Are You? Quiz. I had already done some basic searches, attempting to find a Geek test to feature on the site, but most were either too simplistic or too complex.
I like this test because, as I have stated before, Geeks are not an homogeneous group. This quiz showcases some of the most prominent geeky attributes. My results are as follows:
Despite being a relatively superficial test, the outcome is quite accurate. I'm certainly not surprised that I lean towards the academic side of geekdom, and the moderate results are also pretty indicative of my interests.
So take the test and post your results - check out Blogging Tips to see how to embed HTML code. For those who have taken the test, do you think that it accurately represents you? Do you think that there are any geek categories that have been unfairly omitted? Is taking a test such as this geeky, or mainstream?

Okay...I have no idea what this means because I was truly expecting to score 'high' in Sci-Fi (....hey that rhymes....) and Movies.
It's not fair dammit!...I own a Jedi Robe and Leia's costume (yeah that one) and Sir Arthur C Clarke and Carl Sagan are my literary 'heroes' and I'm a graphic novel freak and...and...
sigh...maybe that's it...I'm more Freak than Geek!
Thanks for the mention Ninabelle, hope you're well.

As for Star Wars, did you put Jedi as your religion on the census? If so, that earns you some serious Sci-Fi Geek points...
May the force be with you,

More or less as expected, I'd say ;o)
Although my Internet Geekiness I would have expected higher...
Nice post Nina. I think "Do you have an adsense income" would have been a valid qualification for the geek test!! ;o)
And Dusk, your Leia costume has officially made you the sexiest person on Orble (except of course for Mrs M ;o)

Ninabelle...your insight serves you well...no more
training you require...
A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense and the
occasional mind trick on the census form collector...
but it is a dark time for the Rebellion...
the government refuses to acknowledge Jedi as a religion...
and it is strong with the dark side of the Force.
Okay that's it...I'm putting the HTML back up...
Thank you Yoda76....luminous beings are we,
not this crude matter....damn....that's your line.
Sorry.

Although, I must say that there aren't enough questions to get an accurate response. To say that my Sci-Fi geekness is moderate is a very conservative estimate, and I definitely deserve more points in Internet Geekiness. And no comics section? Bah!
What it needs is a section asking whether you're in the SCA, just to blow the geekitude right off the scale.

Oh, and while I'm here - the chick in the picture is totally cute.

Dusk: yoda is right - the Leia costume is sexy and geeky all rolled into one!
Ash: These quizzes are always good for a laugh. I thought you'd have academic highest, as your posts are always very deep.
Ahmed: You're definitely more geeky than that! The quiz definitely needed some more techy questions.
Nathan: Yes, the sci-fi and internet questions were lacking, and it is a crime against geekiness not to have a comic section.

I knew I'd be high on the academic geekiness and music geekiness. I thought I might have scored higher on the movie geekiness. But fairly accurate I'd have to say for such a short little quiz.

I think we can all agree that the quiz could be SO much more in-depth. Anyone want to make one? We could all contribute questions from our own respective geek cultures.

(ages ago), a 'favourite film/comic character' theme...
figured they'd be quite a few Wonder Women, CatWomen, etc...
so Princess Leia (and not Oola The green Twi'lek
who was Jabba's slave) as Hutt prisoner was my next choice.
We're talking the full costume (or lack of it...)
albeit with a few modifications;
I asked for a light sabre thigh holster belt...and a light sabre.
I would have gone as Aayla Secura
(Twi'lek blue Jedi)
had Episodes 2 and 3 come out then.
Surely this qualifies me for Geekdom, right?

Um.. where can I get one of those outfits...?
I think I need to buy someone a belated Valentine's bonus gift...

...very hard for me to choose between Diana and Leia when it comes to 'cool'...both childhood icons.
(WW/Diana is completely misunderstood as being a goody 2 boots...let us not forget she is an Amazon Warrior borne from clay and gifted with powers (she can fly...she can breathe underwater...she can break a Titan in half....she's got gravity defying boobs) plus she gave up Godliness because she found the Olympus crew far too boring and indulgent...)
As for the outfit...well...for some reason it's not part of the 'Star Wars' merchandising...maybe 'hot slave costume' didn't look good on the packaging...
A friend, who is a theatrical costumier, made it for me, which is why I got the thigh holster modification BUT... look on eBay Yoda...I just did a search... Happy Belated Valentine's Day...!
And no I'm not selling mine...
Nothing more will I teach you today.
Damn. That's your line...
Have a great night Yoda76...you too Ninabelle...

As for WW, all you say is true, but sadly she wears what amounts to (more or less) the American flag.
A Jedi craves not these things...
...or 'homey don't play that', whichever works for you ;o)
Comment by DuskDevi

Diana Trevor, Steve Trevors mother, who died on
Themyscira, helping the Amazons
defeat some evil ratbags coming out of
Dooms Doorway...
Unfortunately, Diana Trevor was American
and that's why she had the flag and Diana
(WW...who is named after Diana Trevor)
saw this flag as representing the land of Diana Trevor...
a land freedom and democracy.
Okay , so she was wrong but come on...
it's a tribute not truth.
....and these aren't the droids you're looking
for but "homey don't play that" works
just as well...
Um...Yoda76...I'm sensing something here....
you don't just have a 'crush' on Mrs M
do you??...Mrs M is your ...um...Yodess?

Mrs M has been my Yodess (that's terrible, by the way!) for about 9 years now. Yep, I'm hubby in all her posts.
I'll pay your WW comment - but it still bugs me!

I'm almost low enough on the geek scale to be booted from Geekville, but that's okay. I've got plenty of other quarks to go on. *LOL*

Wendi: Don't worry, I won't boot you from Geekville. I'm sure we'll find something else for you to be geeky in
Bryn: Tsk tsk Bryn - that would explain your score for internet geekiness! Glad to see a high score for movie geekiness, though.

If you do think the results of this test are a bit off, head on over to the suggestions for a new geek quiz post and pitch some ideas to improve it.
