What is your geek number?

I got a 108. I'm sorely lacking in the comics department.

[cuddlyevil]

I got an 88. But it's because I don't read comics that much and don't own any.

[CheshireGrin]

An even 100. Oddly (compared to the posts before mine), most of my points were comics and movies. I'm more lacking the gaming department.

[cuddlyevil]

I think it was the LARPing and gaming conventions that saved me. But there wasn't a place for playing Lunch Money--best card game ever. Stupid Magic cards ruin all the fun.

I only got a 68! Too much emphasis on comics and tabletop gaming for me

[Dusky]

79. I think my geekiness manifests in odd ways.

[starfish]

81, I think my lack of computer skills got me. I wonder what my husband would get.

Here's a much, much longer one

"Have you ever used DOS"? Um...that's going to mostly be an age-specific question or a programmer question, neither of which has anything to do with being a geek I'm 34 and we had a computer when I was 4 years old...so of course it ran DOS and that was the only way to navigate. Hell, I still have to use DOS for certain programs at work.

Hm...not as high as it was starting to feel. Only 63 for me..probably because certain geeky things I love aren't on that list and I never was interested in Magic and have read few comics. Or some of the things that are "all" whereas I've maybe only seen half or "most."

Haha 22.50923%  and probably would have been higher if I counted things I used to know but have kind of allowed to lapse.

[BlackCanary]

First quiz- 88 out of 300. I'm kinda sad about that.

Second- 23.24723% Geek!

And I have NO problem that Tryion is handsome on the GoT show. Love Peter Dinklage! And yes, I do worry that I won't be able to read all the books I want to read before I die! 

[Pippin]

The buzz feed link wont work for me but i got a 50.73801% Super Geek on the second test. w00t:)

[CheshireGrin]

I haven't played Lunch Money in years! I should break it out sometime. It's been replaced by Killer Bunnies for the increased silliness factor!

[GilliC]

41.14391%
Definitely some room for improvement!

[2curlydogs]

96. They were lacking in computer questions pre-1995 and too heavy in the comic book area.

48.39% on the other one.

62 on the buzzfeed, 28.78229% on the innergeek test

[msgeeksout]

41.51292 on the long one! I actually preferred that to the Buzzfeed one (123 on that one). The long one was slightly more accurate IMO. And I love that they asked if you dated someone from online not on a dating website, dated a geek, and married a geek. I totally married one.

106.  Mainly due to Star Trek and D&D.  But some comics and scifi reading helped out, too.
