245. I have a geek level of 0 appearently. But in if I did some of those other things, I would be a smelly drug addict who never gets laid and owns ways too many Star Wars books.
 
I didn't bother to add up scores accurately (surely that's worth a few deductions! :) ), but my rough calculation came out at about -40.

I thought I was scoring quite heavily until I hit the deductions bit of test, which more than wiped the score out. Part-geek, part-cool. All-round general hero. :p
 
WTF? I'm a non geek?


I do too many "cool" things to counteract the "geek" stuff.

Damn, I'm gonna have to rethink my life now.

That was me too; I think the fact that I once...inhaled a substance... off the back of a Doctor Who comic pretty much sums me up in terms of geek and cool. Though rather than cancel each other out, I'd like to think that the geeky and cool aspects of my existence enhance one another!
 
480

452-652 Level 3 geek (true geek)

Huh, I didn't know that about myself. Here all this time I thought I wasn't truly a geek. Learn something new every day.
