How big of a computer geek are you?

[matthew]

This is just for fun!!! You are not permitted to take offense. I thought it was amusing.

Go take the test, then register in the poll. http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_cg.php

I'm a Low-Rank Computer Geek with a score of 65.

EDIT: I took it a second time and scored an 80. Reality is "somewhere in there" between 65 and 80.
EDIT2: This was totally without using Google...using it isn't exactly cheathing, but it does diminsh the accuracy of your true geekiness measure.

EDIT3: It's nearly a year later. I took it again and scored a 91.

[manicka]

71 - mid range

[hard_i]

52 , there's still hope for me :D

[Suzan]

Inhuman! ;-)

[skoal]

42.
Now, the irony that the number I just received makes me "a wannabee geek", yet at the same time, I know that number has more important significance, do I get any bonus points?
\\//_

[kassetra]

OMG. I just scared the crap out of myself.

I must go and do something... non-geeky. really. not all fun things revolve around my badass desktop box... after all other fun things revolve around my ibook.

I have cats! Real Cats.

One of my favorite questions that I hand out to students on their intro to CS quiz is: "When will this end?" (it's an infinite loop.)

The one answer that made me nearly pee myself laughing: "It's an infinite loop, so it will take about a half an hour on a Cray."

[Ampersand]

not sure how, but 96: Computer god.

Bah, Gates ain't got **** on me!

[Buffalo Soldier]

Rank: 63

Overall, you scored as follows:
36% scored higher (more computer geeky),
1% scored the same, and
63% scored lower (less geeky).
Compared to those in the same age group as you:
48% scored higher (more computer geeky),
1% scored the same, and
51% scored lower (less geeky).
What does this mean? Your computer geekiness is:
Low Ranking Computer Geek. Definitely a Computer Geek, but low in the computer geek social structure.

[Galoot]

Before I read the thread I voted myself as "Mid-Rank."

Then I saw there was a test involved. Oops!
http://www.nerdtests.com/images/ft/cg.php?val=2796

In my defense, I believe the fact that I just jumped right in before reading the documentation is sorta geeky. Or dumb.

[earobinson]

74

[Cirkus]

This sucks in a major way! ](*,) I only got 52

[Ubunted]

52, seems about right.

[aysiu]

32. I can't believe it's so low, given how much time I spend on these forums, but I guess it means I'm still sane!

Edit: I just realized I have the lowest score here. Whoo hoo! ... I think.

[poofyhairguy]

They should have:

"Will you lie on the test to make yourself seem geekier?"

Sign on true geek.

Um...yeah, I know what 2448-1111 means...really...I just think it's so old school, you know?

50+ systems in my house, no windows machines.

I really need to improve on that.

Google the answers. After it asked about google, I googled all the answers. It may be cheating, but isn't that what geeks do?

[Sheinar]

Well, after using google/cheating, I got 72. That's better. :p

BTW. That joke about the software dev cycle they link to is sooo true for shrinkwrapped cathedral style software.

[kassetra]

Ok, you know... everyone using google to find answers is making us that scored really nerdy high without google feel... REALLY NERDY AND OLD.

Ok, so maybe you're just all making ME feel that way. heh. ;)

It's a 60 for me.

[cychem1]

Scored an 87 ( without Google)--old Fart--

But when I went to college a high level experimental lanuage was FORTRAN and most everybody programed in Assembler we did not have much of a choice

[mstlyevil]

Using google shows you the potential in that person to become a real geek. I now actually know a lot of those answers because I used google. I didn't use my high score of 70 because a geek wanna be is probally a more accurate description of me.

[bored2k]

43. Wannabe.

Does this make me outright crazy for trying to learn how to play with linux? >.<
Though I honestly never thought I was that stupid when it came to computers, lol.

[mstlyevil]

You are not stupid. Just because you do not know all the lingo and do not program does not make you less proficient at using a computer. That is the beauty of being a geek is that one can become one when she wishes to learn how.

[dguitar]

67

I guess thats why I have a tan :p

Although my age has a roll in this.

Why no love for PERL in this test? Thats the 'oldest' language I know, and it was old when I learned :razz:

[wmcbrine]

96. Yeah!

I cheated a little. Like, I didn't actually recognize Seymour Cray, but I knew he wasn't any of the other options. And I didn't hand-reverse the rot13 string; I found a web site to do it. But I figured that was OK since I've written rot13 routines before.

[darkmatter]

I cheated a little.

Heh. I counter-cheated. Couldn't help it. Some of the alternative answers were just to funny to NOT choose. I probably would have scored higher if I took it seriously.;)

That's the problem with any online quiz. They are meant to be fun, but they can't compensate for individual personalities.

I like answers that make me laugh.:)

[super]

wow! a 67! excuse me while i go to my room and cry. i can't possible be that geeky! c'mon, i don't know what a rot13 sting is, i can't read binary numbers, and i barely recognized the big black thing as a computer. :eek:

i don't wear velcro shoes! i don't even own a google t-shirt!

i am not a geek!! :mad:

Interesting thread. I was a hasrdware CE before a lot of these posters were born. However, I have a lot of respect for these young whippersnappers. They're smart, helpful, and usually respectful. There seems to be a lot of experience packed into relatively few years.

In 1998 I wrote a whole suite of DOS batch files including one that could hide and unhide files (and I don't mean just setting the +h attribute!). I guess now school is more important so I haven't had time to fiddle around. Yet I do make sure every one of my computers dual-boots (except for a PIII I have that is exclusively Debian sarge). Plus I'm more interested in humanities and social sciences than computers now.

Same with the black picture, and I didn't vote "My Hand" for the significant other question.

But something that didn't work in my favor is that ISP techs have handed me applications. Multiple times. :p

[adamlau]

79. Mid-Level/Rank Computer Geek.

[pbpersson]

I would like to know how that test is scored and how many you need to get "right" in order to get 100.

I did cheat on some stuff. I did not know what ROT13 was....but was too curious to let that one get by - and then found a ROT13 converter online.

The ASCII stuff - well, I don't have an ASCII chart inside my head, who does? But I did write a program just a few months ago to convert ASCII to Hex and back again.

BASIC, PHP, Pascal, C, Java, HTML, DOS batch, Shell Scripts.....yes, been there and done that.

I said the first programmable computer was used to crack codes in WWII but someone on another web site said it was used to compute projectile paths.

It was an interesting test, that much is certain :)
