Sheik not a geek

Thanks to Heather for this 3 minute diversion. I'm not sure that this is a good thing. I'm supposed to be an academic.

You are 13% geek
OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you.

that's okay...you're at 13%. it means that we still respect your "academic" standing.

Hey Frank,
I was procrastinating (gasp!) and took this crazy quiz... I thought I would share my score because it might just be the explanation for the tension between the "Billy J." blog and my sometimes seeming "coolness" ;-) haha.

You are 43% geek
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Clack! Do you know what that was Siobhan? The sound of the nail getting hit on the head.
