Hmm... my husband is 80%. Figures - he does seem to be at LEAST twice as geeky as me. I guess his interest in sports and politics detracts from his overall score. I thought he'd be at least 90% too!
I didn't know the answer for the Star Trek question and I didn't even know there was a TV show called "Firefly," but I got the same score: 71% geek. So, it isn't fair. They had some tricky questions like "how many windows do you usually have open?" They didn't specify in which workspace! They should have also asked about tabs. I always have more tabs than windows open, and not just in browsers. And, I also doubt that William Shakespeare created /(bb|[^b]{2})/ -- I was just kidding, but my geek level went up. Having a sense of humor does not make me a geek... Does it?
Depends on where the sense of humor resides. I have met geeks with little sense of humor, but then again, a test like this requires it. Otherwise, the geek without a sense of humor just wouldn't see the point. Or no?

Good god, I'm 90%. Of course, my wife is looking over my shoulder saying, "Only 90?!"

Oops, I'm a lowly 40%. I didn't watch Star Trek or Serenity... oh well.
