Soren’s Geek Test

by

OK, so Soren is this guy I work with. Probably the geekiest person I know. I discovered today that he created a geek test some years back. I had fun taking the test. Score a 42 which is pretty good considering that I’m not really much of a geek. Give it a go. See what … Read more
