The Geek and the Nerd in the Studio

For the past number of months, Annalee has been handing out 'geek points' to staff when their actions and conversations warranted it, and musing on how well certain individuals would have done should they ever have found their way onto that 'Beauty and the Geek' show.

In an effort to lay this discussion to rest, we went and found a geek test on the net (http://www.innergeek.us/geek.html) and are having staff complete it. Here are the results for some staff. THE REST OF YOU HAD BETTER SUBMIT YOUR RESULTS!

Staff member	Geek Number	Geek level
Melissa Tapawan	0.99	Poser
Giselle Nazareno	2.6	Poser
Annalee Schellenberg	3.74	Poser
Kevin Aichele	5.72	Poser
Ruth Vanstone	6.31	Poser
Nolan Balzer	11.3	Geekish Tendencies
Jesse Bell	11.83	Geekish Tendencies
Clint Skibitzky	14.99	Geekish Tendencies
Olaf Pyttlik	16.93	Geek
Olaf Pyttlik (when I filled it out for him... he lies	19.72	Geek
Jayson Kowal	22.0	Geek
Paul Bell	24.66	Geek

Jayson also recommended a Nerd Test to us (who knew there was a difference between a geek and a nerd?). These were also interesting results.... (http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nt2.php if you want to try it out and send me your results...)

Clinton Skibitzky (me!) ... what the heck is with the History/Lit Geek thing. I can't deny it however... I have maps of Constantine's Empire and the routes taken on each of the crusades on my study wall at home, as well as a timechart history of the world I found at the British Museum (it is COOL... oh heck, that is embarrassing...)


Ruth Vanstone Ruth just dreams about being as big of a History/Literature as I am... Someday Ruth, someday, perhaps!



Paul Bell you SUCK as a nerd, Paul (odd... he had the highest geek score, but a really low nerd one). Someone take his pocket protector away...



Nolan Balzer OOOH, a close race between science fiction (SCI-FI Nolan not SCIENCE!) and literature for Nolan!



Jesse Bell OK, Jesse isn't even TRYING!



Jayson Kowal No question where Jayson's tendencies lie...



Olaf Pyttlik ... Olaf has not bothered to take this test yet, but I feel qualified to do it for him. When you actually do it I will replace your results with these... super-hero-nerd-buddy!
