What kind of geek are you

This site reckons we are all geeks now, what kind of geek does it think you are?

For some inexplicable reason it puts me down as a quality user.

 

[Gramaisc]

Mmm, so am I.

 

[Withnail]

Hmm, for an even more inexplicable reason it has me as a 'Social Addict' - "completely cut off from the world without" my mobile phone.

I don't have a mobile phone. To be fair, i do often feel completely cut off from the world but this has nothing to do with phone ownership.

I'm a quality seeker, which I suppose I am lol

 

[SharkBait]

A price pragmatist. Whatever that actually means...

A Quality Seeker - How right that is. I can take weeks deciding on the best item but that's because I want real value for my money and can't bear to see something cheaper in the shop down the road. I do my grocery shopping in Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury and Lidl and will walk from shop to shop if it means I'll get a bargain.

... for an even more inexplicable reason ...

Or a less explicable one?

I'm intrigued that this 'quiz' would completely ignore the fact that a mobile phone is not something that i possess, then tell me that i should be bereft without one.

One can only conclude that the lack of mobile phone ownership is now so unlikely as to be seen as statistically irrelevant.

 

[That-Crazy-Rat-Lady]

It says I'm a quality seeker -
To be fair there wasn't an option of 'Just let the other half choose because as far as your concerned its all run my magic'

 

[Glam]

Quality Seeker......... The bit about older kids showing me how to use my latest bits n bobs is true. I am the least tech savvy person I know.

 

[tek-monkey]

Tech Rich apparently!

 

[Gramaisc]

Tech Rich apparently!

Really, tek? I'll have a Guinness.

 

[tek-monkey]

Unfortunately I'm rich in tech, not monies

Sorry, I wasn't listening properly when I read that.

 

[blueastheocean]

Tv worshipper, that's utter nonsense. I only watch about two programmes a day.

 

[Goldilox]

Social addict, or Tech Rich depending whether I interpret the first question as owned-by-the-household or owned-by-me-personally.

 

[tek-monkey]

Good point, I included the house. Also there is no 'Meh' option, some of the questions I was completely impartial on.

You should need to have a licence to issue a survey.



I had a survey from The Blood people a few days ago, which had a yes/no question - "Have you been breathless in the last month?" - I ticked 'yes', on the basis that there's probably been very few months in my whole life when I've not been breathless. I'll be interested to see how they take it. Maybe, if I'd ticked 'no', they would consider that I'm not doing enough exercise...

 

[Trumpet]

Came out as a Quality Seeker, I suppose actually bothering to complete it infers some level of geekdom.

 

[Gramaisc]

Came out as a .....

I was wondering where that was going.....
