What is your score?

from WinCustomize Forums
I am interested in how high your scores are.

I figure that I was a real nerd, but I only scored 25.60%. Who is the biggest nerd on WinCustomize?

MadIce, a lot of the questions are related to schooling. I think I scored low because I am completly different than I was 20 years ago. Computers very scary machines to me back then. I loved poetry and hated maths. I avoided every science and math class as much as I could and I oriented my eduction towards liguistics and litterature.
Now, years laters, computers have changed and so did I. Although I have a low geek score, I really think I'm more of a geek now than the test shows.

Well, I had to miss out on all those US-centric college questions, but I do have a shuffle stick and know how to use it, and I have used a paperclip to punch cards by hand....

Paxx I think you are right. I studied social sciences and became a social worker specialized in drug addicts in Amsterdam. I was doing computing just for a hobby since 1979. Since 11 years I am programming for a living. As you can imagine all the questions related to exact sciences are beyond me. An autodidact like me is doomed to have a low score.

Oops. I lied. I just calculated that I am doing programming for 15 years.

So you failed the maths questions too?

hi, my names peter, i was referred to nerds anonymous by my best friend called modem, and, and, [pause], im a, [pause] a nerd

clap clap clap clap

thanks peter, being a nerd is a disease, it controls your life, but have taken the first step to becoming back to your real self. You must try your hardest to resist the temptation of returning your computer. Remember, we are all friends here and we will help you. Maybe one day you will be able to join the world and go to party's once more.

pj - some of them (well, most) and the ones like: 'did you ever major in...' or 'did you ever do this or that for money' are a bit difficult to handle

Thanks bananafactor! I will add you to the list. ElfMaiden is still on top with 37 %. I guess that would make you #3!

pj: all the math questions were beyond me. To me, "calculus" is nothing but a latin word.

Nerdity Quotient: 45.00% (225/500)

58.20%
Ok this is pretty bad, but what is worse is that I think anyone that reads through the entire test and takes it, should automatically have above a score of 50%
Reply #43 from WinCustomize Forums Top
That causes some people to have a score over 100 %. Now, I don't know how to interpret that
Reply #44 from WinCustomize Forums Top
33.6% attempted as many US-centric questions as possible, but as above, it is a bit skewed cos of that I guess....

Thank You, thank you! Wow. this is such an honor. To be recognized as the least "nerdiest" person, well, it's just amazing. It's been hard work, really hard work. I have spent the past 6 years fighting the "nerd" influences at Stardock. It really paid off. I'd like to thank:

1)My mom and Dad
2)My husband
3)My daughter
4)Tequila
5)My pet rock
6)Sophie, the moody Tektronix printer.....

KarmaGirl, the fight ain't over, althought your position is unchallenged yet. Uhm, I believe the part of the Tequilla, but what about the part of naming your Tektronix printer Sophie? Isn't that an odd name for a printer?

We have 6 new entries. Bananafactor slips in at #35, fearoffours claimed #24, Frogboy's wife surprises us at #16 (beats Elfmaiden holding #22), Dangeruss rushes to #14, edsatori enters at #8 and MobiusCo conquered the #5 position. Mind you the struggle to come in the top 5 is hard. Just 3.80 % difference with the Reaper (#6) and a minuscule 0.20 % with migellito at #4. Sure is hard to beat likw1d and Frogboy, but we already saw that DHendrinx (an unknown talent at #3) is able to catch up with the Super Nerds.

1) likw1d 74.20 % (EFnet #Stardock)
