      57.5% geeky. I think I can live with that. Not liking Star Trek probably helped.

          75% and quite disappointed...still, at least I have a list now of things I must do to be 100% true geek.

          Questions I answered no to were :

          5. Have you ever solved a Rubik's cube?

          I smashed one to pieces and reassembled it correctly though.

          10. Were you in the 'clever' class for maths at school?

          Not maths, no. English Language was my best subject.

          18. Have you ever been to the cinema on your own?

          No. Not that I can remember.

          19. Would you turn down a party invite if you were near the end of a good book?

          Depends what type of party. I answered no as I assumed they meant a LAN party ?

          25. Do you own a Slinky?

          Not anymore. I stretched it taught to make a trip wire.

          28. Have you ever considered trying out for Mensa?

          No.

          29. Are you already a member of Mensa?

          No.

          31. Do you wear a bum-bag at any other time?

          No...only on holidays.

          34. Have you ever designed a robot?

          No. I did make a working crossbow out of Technical Lego, complete with sharpened bolt (one of the black axle thingies for a car's wheels). I managed to shoot the eye off my teddy and pierce right through a paperback novel from a distance of 7 feet.

          35. Have you ever attempted to build a robot?

          I did try and convert my Big Trak to be a mobile platform for my air pistol. I even painted it in camouflage colours. I got stuck working out a remote firing mechanism.
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              You are 60% geeky.

              Not bad. Maybe you spend a little too much time with your computer, but at least you have friends. You do have friends, right?

              The current average score is: 32.66%

              Fact: 21.20% of people who took this test believe in The Force


              Oh dear.
