Are You A Geek?

[eek]

...if you think so, then why? ..and, are you proud to be one?

(note: i said geek, not nerd..! If you dont know the difference, maybe youre not qualified to answer )

[smokie36]

I know a guy who had a Star Trek tattoo done at the weekend...the badge on the shirt...yep he had it done over his chest.

Yes I did try to dissuade him.....

Kids eh?

[Tywais]

Go to my YouTube channel (Tywais) and decide for yourself.

I did wear one of these in high school though.

Smokieeeeeeeeeeeee...NOOOOO!! Thats a NERD thing, not a GEEK thing!

Tywais = proper geek! Love it! (and love your youtube page Tywais )

(Edit: just watched the dvd laser burner vid !)

(Edit 2: You obviously have a touch of the "Nerd" going on too Tywais (which most geeks often have anyway!), because of the name of your dog. If he were mine, and he had been barking at seemingly nothing like that (was it a lizard??!), i would wonder if he sees something i dont, and get the heeby jeebies!(a bit freaked!) ...so very sorry that you lost him. Oops..just saw the very end (had paused the video whilst i wrote this) Smart boy, he was protecting his family! )

I am not qualified to answer, as I don't know the difference between geek and nerd, but I am willing to tag along and be educated or emancipated.......whichever comes first.

[Rajab Al Zarahni]

Retired, just dabble now

[Thaddeus]

Take the test................

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-nerd-geek-or-dork-test

[eek]

Thanks eek....I wasn't sure but you confirmed it for me!

OOps..according to Taddy's OKCupid link (lol Taddy!), i got the definitions wrong!

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

I took the test, and i save the result..but im not telling...! ..might, but for now no!

[Rajab Al Zarahni]

eek: Maybe you are a Geek! Your profile ,after all, confirms you are lazy!

I took it at the time I posted the link, not sharing my result either, but I have an inkling that you and I fared fairly similarly.

[PoorSucker]

Disappointing normal, only 48% nerd.

[BookMan]

I think this is in the wrong forum...

Put it in internet/technology and there will be an avalanche of confessors

[Geekfreaklover]

Yes. And a freak. And a lover.

[BookMan]

[BookMan]

Probably why the ancient Geeks were so good at subjects like maths and philosophy.

I'm a complete geek, for sure. But I was always a geek. I can't stand people who think being a geek is all about being trendy and hip just because it's 'safe' to be different nowadays.

Being a nerd, geek or dork is all the same, it just depends where you are. You're a nerd next to a bunch of bikers, for example, a dork next to sports players and playboys, and a geek next to 'cool' hipsters. There is no difference.

I've always wondered why there aren't secret geek meetings happening in the comics corner of Kinokuniya in Siam Paragon. Any time I see other Westerners in there we just end up ignoring each other.

To sum up: being a geek is a lot more fun.

Well I took the test and my result didn't surprise me at all..........Joe Normal, neither here nor there....so I am still not qualified to answer.......buggar!

And I was so trying to fit in........somewhere.

No, you are not a geek, for sure.

[smokie36]

How rebellious/resistant to authority are you?

Bwahahahahaha!

How handsome am I?

You're joking right??

Anyway....here's my results....

Joe Normal

35 % Nerd, 4% Geek, 9% Dork

[yoslim]

what a lame ass test, nothing on which is the best irc network and so on. the test was surely made by a dork

[Tywais]

A proper geek would know how to 'fudge' that test to come up with any result they want.
