A quiz

megalomania, doomed optimism, people, expectations, pessimism, lists

Inspired by a sheepish friend of mine, I've made a quiz to see if any of my indubitably geeky readers are geeky in the same exact ways I am.

Let the quizzage commence!

I'm obviously forgetting a whole horde of things I'm geeky about that I feel I should've added, but the format only allowed for ten questions. (If a surprising amount of people were to take it, I guess I could make a follow-up - a sequiz, if you would. You probably wouldn't.) Please comment and let me know how goes it, the two of you who'll bother to even go through it.

70%. To be fair, several of my correct answers were just guesses.

Why are you far? Stay in Bergen, don't leeeeave!

(Thanks for responding! :D)

50%. I am ashamed about missing Evey and by thinking that you could possibly have spelled "Wayne" wrong. However, one correct answer was a guess, so I cannot really complain about my performance.

I'm impressed, though! These aren't geeky questions, they're geeky questions tailored to stuff *I* happen to know. What with the age-difference and everything, 50% is bloody great!

Sending you an email with the list of which question was based on knowledge of what geeky subject, just in case you'd be interested. :)

To spam a bit: My quiz is apparently tons harder!

'Tis indeed!

Hi Loki,

Well, I'm honored to have hit 80%, which is a bit strange because I don't actually know you. I came across your blog years ago after a search for A Song of Ice & Fire. I read a few of your entries, realized you liked:

1) ASOIAF
2) Malazan Book of the Fallen, and
3) Battlestar Galactica

So I popped you in the ol' RSS Feed, and have been enjoying your musings ever since.

A few of my answers were guesses as well, to be fair.

Good lord, I have a reader! Isn't this all kinds of nice and surprising bundled in with each other all at once!

And yes, I do indeed like those three things, though the last one was sadly not represented anywhere in the quiz to my hindsight'y chagrin. (I've also not read the last, what, three Malazan-novels yet - another point of chagrin, to be sure)

Thanks for letting me know there exists people who enjoy my musings! And thanks for taking the quiz. Congratulations on scoring 80%, by the way, I don't think anyone else managed that...
