Major geek

This Geek Test has been going around work. At 507 questions, it's long and, unfortunately, I've got the high score at 38.65878%.
There were several questions I wanted to comment on.
  • Dated a geek - Oh, mas oui! Geeky woman are wonderful.
  • Corrected a salesperson on technical specs - Uh-huh. Though sometimes I've sat back and learned a lot.
  • Corrected a supervisor on spelling or grammar - Yes; As detailed in my recent Live Journal, I'm going to have to edumicate a non-supervisor on the difference a hyphen will make between "resign" and "re-sign."
  • a subscription to a sci-fi or computer magazine; an anthropological or history magazine; a nature or science magazine; a financial or literary magazine -- Okay! So I like to read. Plus, I was plowing through my frequent flier remnant miles. An interesting side effect was the perpetual renewal notices when those subscriptions had only ten months remaining. For the record, I currently subscribe to: The Week, Scientific American, Wired, Consumer Reports, (Vintage) Bicycle Quarterly.
  • math/science camps, competitions, won at them - yep. And because I was upset that one couldn't earn a "letter" (as in letter jacket) for academics, I made my own.
  • Skipped parties to read/study - I am uncomfortable in large, crowded venues.
  • Watch the Weather Channel, Discovery Channel This should come as no surprise at all.
  • Use 1280x1024 or higher More like 1920x1600.
  • Owned a personal domain . Obviously

Really? You couldn't "letter" in academics? We could. I got letters for Math Team, and the letters had pi symbols embroidered on them.

I should get two points for that. :)

Nope. Athletics and Student Council were the only ones you could. I awarded myself a Math letter. Dang, I should have used pi or e or i

The test is obviously dated. For example, it should ask questions like "Do you have a Roomba?"

The test could use consolidation. 14 percent (I don't remember the decimal). I have not seen or read The Hobbit.
