Apparently I'm just a poser. Got 4.9%.

Jackie/who thinks she may have forgotten to add she was female since everyone is saying that brings your score up.

Well, I also work in IT but scored only 8%. What geekiness I have stems from the fact that I have to know a certain amount of IT stuff to do my job. The rest appears to be my interest and knowledge of fanfic and science. However, I also have a knowledge and interest in the arts - ie, I'm a cross-over geek.

I guess that makes you normal. I mean, I do HTML programming by hand, got pretty good scores on math and verbal in the SATs, and got an A in the first Physics class I had ever taken (in COLLEGE), but I can play any musical instrument I find (with varying degrees of skill), as long as I have a fingering chart and some music, and I draw peoples' faces as a hobby, as well as rooms.

Whew! I thought I'd be banned from the boards with only a 9.6 reading.

With L&C being the only fandom that I actually participate in I guess my association with comic books helped bring my score up.

Tank (who may have seen many of the movies mentioned, doesn't actually own any of them except for the Lord of the Rings trilogy)

Ever notice that the ones with the high geek factor scores post their scores as something like 45.92034 while those with low geek factor will round the number to something like 5.5% or 10%? Things to think about. Coincidence? I think not.

I love the bit about the odd and even rule of Star Trek movies!

I also know Pi to about 25 decimal places. Used to know more, but they leaked out of my brain.

Hehe! I did too! I was just explaining it to someone a few days ago, as a matter of fact. He'd never seen any so I lent him the 4th one ("Voyage Home") which IMHO is the best one. When he brought it back to me he asked whether the others were worth seeing as well (guess I turned him into a potential Trekkie) so I told him about odd and even thing. I swear he looked at me like I was crazy. *lol*

Odd bad, even good.

I should be ashamed. I only know pi to 14 decimal places. My wife, OTOH, knew it to over 100 when she was in college. I think everyone in her crowd (she's five years older than me) competed to see who could recite the most. I don't know how many she remembers now, but it's still way more than I know.

I come in at 41%. Although I can certainly think of other geeky things I do/have done that should be on there...

I just scored "14.7929% - Geekish Tendencies".. While checking all those boxes (can't help it that I'm a solitaire addict.. ) I thought I would come out at approx. 60 per cent.. But no, I'm just a little geek

Btw, what's geeky about fanfic?

But it only works until #10, though. That one being the absolute worst ever... no story and the whole entire plot is revealed about 10 minutes into the film. I fell asleep in the theatre, during the big battle scene, on one of those vibrating seats that are supposed to make the movie-going experience more "real". right... LOL! I have yet to see that movie from start to end.

IMHO, "Nemesis" should be to Trek what "Never Say Never Again" is to Bond. (ie: fans consider it to be "unofficial")

I remember my math teacher, he must have been from the same generation as your wife, he knew (and probably still knows) pi to around 250 decimal places! He said he liked to study pi in the train.. Yahoo.. He was a very funny guy (I remember a certain story he told about "coming", well, you know what I mean.. and he was just telling it in front of class!)

Well anyway, I only know 3.14 (and I think it was 3.1419 or 3.14159 or something?)

Speaking of geekyness, I know this geeky game, but it's really fun to play it's called iSketch (something like online pictionary, pretty geeky, but real fun! )

3.141592

Those are the ones I can easily recite. I know a poem, though, that gives you... *counts mentally* 30 digits or so? (I admit, I'm a little fuzzy on the last few words *g*)

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

3.141592657 -- 9 digits, so I couldn't check the box that said I know it to 10.

16.96-Geek

would've been higher, but I don't use computers for much other than entertainment.
