I think I got "Geek God" only after I exaggerated a bit, otherwise "Super". It has probably improved since then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif because I printed it out, figured out the code and looked up some of the terms.

[Edit:] Will 70% of men now retake the test just to be called a liar? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[ReEdit:] 59.96% on the retake. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hmm I don't think so, as even in my forsaken corner of France we heard about everything mentioned in the quizz so it *is* known everywhere else in the world. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif (Yes, we are probably the only place left where you can still buy Colonization (PC Version, shipped in 1994) for... what, 60 dollars But I digress) What I meant is that I... how to put it... I don't exactly fancy sciences, nor programming or something along these lines, and I don't really like Star Trak or Star Wars either.

However, if fantasy and/or other science fiction authors were involved, and if you remove all the programming stuff and add instead questions such as "how many hours a day do you spend on your computer?" or "do you spend more time on your computer than doing anything else?", my score would then be much higher. Thus the bias for me and the *very* low score. I am still not sure if I should sue the author or rejoice about the outcome though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

well, the test is based on the auther's idea of what a geek is. since everybody has a different idea, every test will be different.

I'm a total geek.

I thought I would score about 30% - what with everybody calling me a nerd and a geek.

Hmm, I question whether all those decimal places are really significant.
