What colour geek are you?

<10%: Red-Badge Geek - If it's even possible to be this non-geeky, welcome to Lamesville. Population, you... and maybe Jesus. But he was born 2000 years ago. What's your excuse?

11-20%: Orange-Badge Geek - Ok, so you've read a few books, watched a few movies and you likely passed math in high school. But, you're probably proud you scored this low and can't stand it when geeks correct you. BTW, Yoda is the small green guy.

21-30%: Yellow-Badge Geek - Now we're talking. You have geeky friends, don't you? They are constantly dragging you out to movies about elves and bring Guitar Hero and their Wii to your parties, but you'd rather watch documentaries and cross-stitch.

31-40%: Green-Badge Geek - Well, at least you know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek, and you probably know who Buffy is. You might even own a video game system, but you still think you are too cool to be a geek. You're wrong, but we won't hold it against you.

41-50%: Blue-Badge Geek - So close to Geekdom, give in to your obsessive side! Master an obscure area of popular, or not so popular, culture and you're in. You're hesitant to admit how geeky you are, but you laugh every time you see a shirt that says "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate".

51-60%: Indigo-Badge Geek - An official geek, you have well rounded knowledge of most things we consider geeky, but you lack the truly obsessive and usually annoying geek qualities of memorizing all the trivial minutia you can get your hands on. Rock on brother.... sister.... Prostetic Vogon.

61-70%: Violet-Badge Geek - Ah, the world of Geek is a familiar and fun place for you. You could hold your own at a Sci-Fi convention and have probably watched movies for more than 8 straight hours. You can embrace your geeky side and are proud that you know more than 4 digits of pi.

71-80%: UV-Badge Geek - This is getting pretty geeky. You probably have trouble communicating with regular people because you talk in Simpsons quotes and spend a lot of time in front of a monitor. Luckily you have lots of geeky friends, in your guild.

81-90%: X-Badge Geek - You are an Epic Geek. You have a vast repository of geek knowledge and refer to histories as "lore". You own collections of movies, games and probably action figures. Even we think you should get out more. Your geekiness severely limits your chances with the ladies, or guys.

91-99%: Gamma-Badge Geek - Wow! Stephen Hawking is not this geeky, even if he could move his arms to operate a video game controller. This existence of the possibility that someone is this geeky scares even us. Someday you will lead the geeks of the world in a revolution against normality. They'll commit you, but you'll get Jello three times a week.

100%: Liar.
