Librarians as geeks

djfiander writes “I have a minor addiction to silly online quizzes, so when the Inner Geek came floating through a mailing list I read, I had to check, especially since I am very geeky. My point, and I do have one, is that one of the questions is, “You want to be, or have every been… a librarian”, is a question. I’m not sure if this is good or not. Oh, and I scored a mere “Total Geek”, which is fairly low on the pantheon, even if I did check off every single checkbox in the “have read” section except for the “Star Wars/Star Trek Companion book” option.”

Lot of fun
Lots of fun. Thanks, djf. FWIW, I got 22% (geek). I wish I could tell you my score to multiple decimal points, but I went to the “post my score” section and when I came back, my result was gone. sigh.

Re:Lot of fun
I got the score of Total Geek.

Too bad they don’t have geek categories. I’m much more of a theatre/arts/dance geek than a techie geek. Oh, and a bookgeek. My business card lists my qualifications as mlis/bookgeek 🙂

Oh, and I don’t bite heads off live chickens 🙂

Dissapointed
18.54043% – Geek
That’s not as geeky as I thought I’d be, this test is biased against older geeks.

Oh weird…
40.63116% – Major Geek

I wouldn’t have figured I’d score so high (guess being female helps a lot).

It’s a bad sign…
You can tell I’m a geek when I get super excited about scoring 63.70809% (Extreme Geek)! Of course, I did check the box about lying on the test to do better…

Same here. Only 20.71006%?!?! I’m just a plain old “Geek”?!? I’m shocked.

I can’t believe it
Listening to Books on Tape is a part of being geeky?
