Well that's a load of rubbish, because I scored the same, and (a) we can't both be the only person to score 100% and* (b) I'm sure you're much more geeky than me.
* At this point a window popped up (it's cronned to run every ten minutes) testing me what the Hebrew was for "underground railway"; I just thought I'd mention this.
I was most amused, though, when it asked me how many computers I had, and I had to look around the room to count them. (One BBC Master dating from around 1985, one rather broken laptop dating from around 1998 (which I keep because it's the only machine I have with Windows (98) on it, which I need to access my CD-ROM encylopaedias), and my current desktop and laptop.)
I think that their scoring must be suspect... besides, in my own case, I should have been marked down (can't do assembly w/o references (what processor, anyway?) and have only looked at a couple vols. of Knuth... OTOH, I was disappointed at the lack of Lisp. ;)
Hi there! I hope you don't mind me barging in. I'm trying to stir up interest in a social networking site for expats, it's called InterNations. I got your name from mactavish, if you'd be interested in an invite to InterNations please let me know! Best way to reach me is by e-mail: mperuzzi@gmail.com - thanks!
Couldn't send you a message, so commenting here. Hello. I found you through a friend's f-list. Honestly, I was enchanted by your userID and got nosey. I like what I've seen so far. May I friend you?

Date: 2008-05-26 02:17 pm (UTC)74% scored higher (more computer geeky),
1% scored the same, and
25% scored lower (less geeky).
Compared to those in the same age group as you:
90% scored higher (more computer geeky),
0% scored the same, and
10% scored lower (less geeky).
What does this mean? Your computer geekiness is:
You are a wannabe computer user, but, alas, that is not possible with you.
For your hard work, here is the promised image:
I am not a computer geek but spend lots of time on it especially when I am bored.

Seriously, that test needs some assembler and a bit more geek culture.
