I AM 57% GEEK.

That wasn't a real Geek Test.

If it _were_ a real Geek Test, it would include a question to write a 1000 word commentary essay on the W3C's public proposal to substantially change their patent policy framework to support a new licensing model (called RAND) that legitimizes the W3C's role in developing and promoting standards that could require the payment of royalties.

The test also wouldn't place such relatively high marks on things like being single or knowing what 8 inch floppies are. It's a pretty dated idea of just what constitutes a geek.

Then again, if you were to test for "dot com geekdom" you'd have to give points for anyone driving a black jetta or who has an open concept office with free beverages.

*mutter* 8 inch floppies... 5-1/4's on steroids
with not enough disk space for an amoeba's
thoughts and only Wang word processors have 8"
drives.
