Geek Test


"Geek" and "nerd" have in recent years become quite the vogue.  Thanks to the "adorkable" movement and the increase in casual gaming, geeks and nerds are no longer considered greasy, undesirable social outcasts; now, we are charming, desirable social outcasts.  Unfortunately, this means there are now poseurs who think that playing The Sims and reading the classic literature assigned in class qualifies them for these titles.  Unfortunately, no.  These are titles you must earn, and as the charter of the Edison High School League of Awesome Intellectuals I feel the need to set the boundary.

Complete the test that follows.  At no point are Google nor Wikipedia allowed, though you may access other archives of which you are aware.
