20.12%-Geek
So I played chess, did math competitions, and continued working logic problems after I’d already taken the LSAT–fortunately I’m not ultra into computers, have never been into Star Trek, and only know pi to 7 decimal places. Except that I just looked it up and now know 12.

Austin, Matt–I think you both get bumped up a notch for not rounding your Geek percentage. Or maybe, given the context, rounding is more Geeky…

I rounded up, so what does that say about me? You got to check some of the questions about Mensa, right Skittles? I thought of you when I had to leav those blank.

Does accidently posting the same thing 2x raise or lower my score?
-Rob

100%? You’re scary. If you posted twice because you’r proud of your geekiness, then yes, it makes you more geeky. If you posted the second time by mistake, then no.

See, I wanted Rob to actually take the test because I know his score is going to be significantly lower than it should be since it’s so geared toward computer tech/star trek type geekiness. Then I was going to post things that I thought should be on the test that would raise his score (like having just about every batting stat from the 1980’s memorized-still; like spending his sophomore year of college playing Mario Bros so much that in order to make it challenging he made himself go through the whole game without dying, without warping, and with only using 1 hand (he propped the controller between his knees), like legitimately being able to play the Kevin Bacon game, etc.) But he said he doesn’t have time to take the test until after graduation so now I’ve resorted to teaching him how to do things (like count in binary on his fingers) and reminding him of things that he already knew but didn’t remember (like the names of at least 5 dwarves from LOTR) in order to help him out. Because that’s what good wives are for.

Oh, that also leads me to a comment on the test related to sports–I know an interest in sports is typically associated with all things Not-Geek, but I submit that there is a wildly geeky side to sports that often goes overlooked. In my mind it goes something like this: Those who can, play; those who can’t, memorize and manipulate their stats. And, look at your typical sports announcer, not the ones who are former players, the ones whose entire careers have been in announcing–they’re generally not the coolest kids on the block. So I guess what I’m trying to say is, I would like to see broader definition of Geek-hood that includes Sporty-Geek.
