It Says I'm A Geek--If Only That Were True!


You Are a Geek


You love to learn, especially when it's about technology. No subject is too obscure for you.
Apparently I'm not geeky enough to figure out why my Firefox browser won't open. I wish I were more of a geek so I understood better the inner workings of my computer! Thanks to Rebecca's detailed instructions she left in the comments Monday, I got my Firefox browser to open again!

You enjoy tinkering with things to see how they work. You aren't a traditional learner either... you need to hack around to figure things out.
I do enjoy tinkering to try to figure things out on my own, but only want to spend what I consider to be a reasonable amount of time doing it. I don't like wasting hours trying to figure out why my Firefox browser or my flip program won't open!

You may have the brains to be a super rich Silicon Valley geek, but you're truly content to have your own favorite projects, subjects, and toys.
I am very content to have my own favorite projects, really, I'm not that big of a geek.

For you, being a geek is not about the glory. It's about a love of digging deep and truly understanding the world.
I think this applies way more to my dad than to me. He's the one who seemed to always want to learn new things, especially how things worked. I'm really satisfied it things work like they should when I press the buttons, flip a switch, or click on the computer. I don't really care exactly how it works, just am glad when it does! On the other hand, my dad would actually only read books that taught him how to do something whether it was carpentry, plumbing, electrical, shopping, or locksmithing. He was interested in how everything worked!

Gah, I got "You are a Hippie." :-p I'm eccentric, colorful, yah... but I'm not carefree. Oh well, what did I expect from an Internet quiz, lol!!!

I am so glad you got your Firefox problem fixed. :D And the Twitter hack fixed. When I saw the Twitter purported to be from you, I knew your account had been hacked.

Again we come out the same. I think that's kind of neat.

I'm glad you got Firefox to work properly. I love Firefox.

Have a terrific day. :)

Rebecca: Ha, that's funny! Sometimes these quizzes are right on and other times they are way off, but I think they're kind of fun. Now it seems my posts aren't going automatically to Twitter anymore--such a nuisance. That's the only reason why I started a Twitter account!

Sandee: I was very relieved when I got my Firefox Browser working again. It does seem we have a lot of similarities.
