I bought Ponzi a book recently, called “A Girl’s Guide to Dating a Geek”. She’s been reading it, and decided we needed to take the Geek Test that’s inside it. Ponzi says that the book has some interesting philosophies in it. The beginning is a test that will help you determine if your man is a Geek or not. She insisted we do this quiz live.

Geeks are human, yes, but sometimes they seem like a different species. They have social interactions that don’t resemble anything else found in nature; they have language aspects and conventions that go against rational thought; and they many times have a unique body odor. Ok, ok. We have that unique body odor, too. For we are they and they are you and we are you and… we’re all geeks. And we need people to understand us so they can date us. This book helps.

It asks the reader “Are you dating a geek?” If so, find out just how geeky he is in “The Geek Test.” Learn how to cope with his geekiness in sections such as: “Getting What You Want” and “How to Exercise Your Geek.” Also, discover how to plot revenge, diagnose common geek ailments, and find the perfect gift for your geek. Take a deeper look into the world of geeks with “My Life Among the überGeeks” and “My Life Among the Gamers.” Read case studies, examine graphs, peruse the Geek Dictionary, and more in A Girl’s Guide to Dating a Geek.

Ponzi has decided I am a Spoiled Rotten Geek. According to people in my chat room who kept track, I received 55 points total on the test. According to the book, I’m a Micro-Geek. I can’t believe that’s all I got, and that I’m not at the top rung!! When Ponzi said to “scroll” to the right page in the book… instead of turning… I realized that at last… my work here is done.
