Those fun online quizzes may be more than you bargained for

I’m a genius who is the reincarnation of the ever-breathy Marilyn Monroe. I understand men 100%, and I’m also the cartoon character Dory as well as the Disney Princess Mulan. No, I don’t have split personality disorder or any other kind of mental heath diagnosis (I think). Just the results of a bunch of those online quizzes. Yeah, you know what I mean. I also learned that these quizzes aren’t just about killing some time and a few chuckles. It all boils down to the money, right? Did you really think this was any exception?

So you say you’re a geek? Take our quiz to be sure.

So, you say you’re a geek. You’re proud of the title. You wear you geekiness as a badge of honor, eh? Well, before you slap that big “G” on your chest, take our little Geek-o-Meter quiz to find out where you really rate on the Geek Scale.

First, do you even know what a “geek” is?? Well, according to good old dictionary.com…it means a few different things. Now, let’s hope you aren’t trying to be number three. Ummm…gross.

geek   Slang.–noun1. a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.2. a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)3. a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.

Now that we have that out of the way, on to the nuts and bolts of it. Are you or aren’t you a bona fide member of the Geek Club? How many of the following questions can you answer “yes” to? (without googling). And I didn’t even make these especially hard, so let’s see how you rate.
