Hm. I got a 28% on the other test, though the test itself is still lacking. But at least it admits that I'm a total geek and gives me points for being a geeky girl. [Smile]

30.57199% - Total Geek on the innergeek test. I think that one is more accurate.

Some additions to the first one:

Own or read PIHKAL.
Own or read
TIHKAL.
Have never tried any of the chemicals in either.
Not even the popular (illegal) ones.
Can draw from memory at least five structures from each book.
Have synthesized one or more of the chemicals from either book, just to see if you could do it.

Collect and read out of print books.
Own (1, 5, 10) or more than were printed over a century ago.
Own a first edition.
Of an entire series.
By an author who died before you were born.
If you were obviously the first person to ever read one or more books in your collection.


quote:
Would you rather read your physics text book than go out and socialize with people?
Does it have to be physics? I could see preferring a chemistry, biology, or even mathematics textbook over people I have and would willingly socialize with.

Level 4 geek (685 points)

Pretty sad that I had a Final Fantasy 3 soundtrack... or rather made my own by recording it with my karaoke machine (I should get lots of points for even just owning a karaoke machine) [Big Grin]

ketchup.. I totally understand how you feel with the "meeting your significant other through internet" question... 60 points is too much. [Blushing]

Except for one question, I have -30!

That one question: 30 points for each computer language you know. I know at least 10. This only puts me in the wannabe range.

I'm a CS professor and I watch Star Trek way too much. I must have added wrong. OTOH, adding wrong is probably a very un-geek thing to do.

My self-image is shattered.
