Geek Pride Day

[Mbarton]

"To celebrate Geek Pride Day on May 25th, we made this fun IT test to help you find out where you stand on the IT geek spectrum and how you compare with friends and peers. Do you have what it takes to be a true IT geek?

   

Prove your IT geek status and determine if you've got the right stuff by taking our test, "Are You an IT Geek?" After you're done, post how you did in the comments, and share with a friend!

BONUS: For some additional fun, watch a non-technical friend or coworker take the test and let us know how far they got! We've also got more fun stuff coming your way for Geek Pride Day, so stay tuned."

Woo I'm an IT geek! B)

[werto165]

Probably not an IT geek, I know binary but I have no idea what you do when edit your registry, all I know is regedit and how to find some things in it.

[Maheshvara]

Hmm, likely an IT geek

 

(but seriously, i don't like backing up data...)

 

Btw, i think this is unbalanced. I know some of "harder" stuff while i don't know some of the "easier" ones...

[MblaZe7run]

IT Geek Soon to be Super IT Geek.. research will ensue.

[minibois]

Likely IT geek.
My bits and bytes knowledge is not that good anymore

[C0LL0SS0S]

I am no geek, since I can't earn money with free advices that save money

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

Can someone tell me what PEBCAK and RTFM means.

I wanna be a IT geek. :mellow:

Yeah, I forgot about nr. 2...

Couldn't visualize it in my head >_< (too long ago, last time I used it)

With that knowledge, I would have been an IT geek or Super IT geek.

Well it helps that I've been doing maths a lot recently, it's like that with all base systems. Hexadecimal is just base 15, so 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 A = 10 b = 11 C = 12 D = 13 E = 14 F = 15 just because you know we ran out of number symbols.

[Bsmith]

failed at the keys, if i skip that one i get to "likely" mehh good enough

[mixup]

Likly IT GEEK no plan about 0101 binary möpmöp

[Swndlr]

probably not an it geek

[KE2012]

Hmm, 'probably not an IT geek'...................... yet I have written my very own hardware code for my own processor (that works), I demand a new picture thingy to follow.

Hexadecimal is base 16. You have to count the 0 along with 1-F.

It's the same with binary being base 2, not base 1. You have 0 and 1.

[werto165]

ooops lol yeah base 10 is 0-9 so 0-F being 16 makes sense. I just gone doofed it.

You can also just look at the name of it. Pentadecimal is base 15.

On an unrelated note, hexaflexagons are awesome:

I'm likely an IT geek. I have most of my important data saved where I can get to it if my computer fails, but most of my data is going to get lost if my hard drive fails or something.

[Jade]

Super IT Geek. Pretty trash flow chart though because this is more like "do you manage more than one machine and a server?" Otherwise known as tech support.

[ObeseWalrus]

I'm getting tired of this geek "pride" shit, super cringeworthy.

[Pyromaniac225]

I know most of the things on there and I don't classify as an sort of IT geek. Rather stupid test.

[Trik'Stari]

I'm lonely, miserable, and spend 98% of my time on my computer, so yes, I'm a geek.
