In case it's not already abundantly clear, I am, in fact, a geek.

And proud of it.

Moreover, I am a Level 3 geek.

Take this quiz, and figure out your own geek quotient. (My score was 575).

Enjoy.

Update: Not just a geek. A geek that can't read the instructions. I missed the two-year time frame on the first part of the quiz.

Retaking with that timeframe, my raw score was 590, less 350 for the "anti-geek" points, yields a revised score of 240, or Level 0 Wannabe.

1 Geez, thought I was a geek, got up to 300 pts, based mostly on my profession in IT. Then got deducted back to -200.

2 Raw score of 680. Revised score of 300. I'm a level 1 geek (Urkel). Hehe, the fighting Urkel-hai. Living and working at a ski resort killed me on the anti-geek points.

3 Apparently I was much more of a geek in college/grad school. Like you, sans the time window, I am a Level 3 Geek.

4 LOL The test is wrong. Then again, *most* of the tests are. (and it's "Of Sparta" not anything a bard wrote )

5 1910 (after reducing, mostly because of knowing a ton of computer languages) - Level 6

This video is especially suited for Rob (to show him what he missed out on) and Ace (to relive past dork glories).

My boys have been busy building again. First, a tribute to the original Star Wars trilogy. My second son's custom X-Wing:
