[The Duggler]

What a microsoft biased bull**** test.

[GameMaster]

Yeah, there were some questions in there that really don't apply to Macs and as a result of the lack of "Mac choices", my score was lowered.

Because of this, I'm afraid I am left with no choice but to give this quiz an mediocre rating.

I got a 76

[Happydude]

80 :unsure:


that's too low for me

[Seth]

90

[Jason1]

What the hell...it says I got a 21...but I dont see how thats possible...I like totally digital dude!

[Ironfoot]

What a microsoft biased bull**** test.

Yep, definitely. I got a 81.

[Xantar]

On top of the questions being not applicable to Macs, there were way too many questions that were dependent on previous answers (for example, "Do you use a PDA?" followed by "Is your PDA integrated with your cell phone?" and of course, if you answered no to "Do you use the internet wirelessly?" a few questions ago, it's really not applicable).

Also, I didn't know what to say for "Have you installed the Google bar?" because my browser comes with the Google bar already installed. :)

Plus, the basis of the survey is just flawed. I'm less tech-savvy if I don't use a PDA? What if I know how to write in Graffiti but just don't need to use a PDA?

Anyway, my score was 101.

[Stonecutter]

What a microsoft biased bull**** test.
Well, maybe if there were more than like 12 mac users they'd make the test weighted more towards macs.


:P


I got a 95

[The Germanator]

I got a 66...I need help! :distress: ....

:unsure:

[Ginkasa]

35


*shrugs and walks away*

[One Winged Angel]

104

[Dyne]

Ouch.. 202..

Seriously! :distress: I also missed quite a few that I should have gotten.. but still.. :(

[DimHalo]

I got a 95... but I do agree that it is a biased test.

[Jason1]

Now that I think about it, I probably scored so low because im one of few people that has absolutley nothing to do with cell phones or PDA's...and a lot of the questions were based towards them...

[Dyne]

Seconded.. My usage probably jumped my score 50 points.

[Jonbo298]

Jeez, this test is biased. I chose no for the google bar and the setting of homepage to msn,yahoo,etc...and I got no points for it.

But I got a 159

[Jewels]

i got a 78 :(

[Yoda9864]

I got a 137. Stupid PDA and cell phone questions. So just because I don't have a cell phone or PDA, I'm not tech savy? Sorry I don't have that kind of cash to throw around. :rolleyes: Well, 137 is still pretty good considering I had to answer no to all those PDA/cell phone ones.

[Alex]

I scored 141.

It's a really bad test, not only was it biased toward Microsoft and their products, but the questions were downright stupid. The fact that people don't own a PDA, use a cellphone for the internet or use wireless internet get a low score, which is simply moronic. Also, I don't use a firewall or a virus scanner because in the 10+ years I've used computers I've never had a virus or a need for a firewall, this lowers my score.

[Hero2]

well you do get + for saying you use linux.

this was just a bad test that was full of sterotypes to.

[The Duggler]

Where did he say that?

And what do you do Alex instead of using a firewall, I'm curious.

[Hero2]

No not +rep for alex. If you take the test you get + points for saying you have linux
srry should have specifed more

[Alex]

I don't use anything.

Some might call it stupid, but its worked fine for me so far. I've never been hacked or had any type of unwanted intrusion, so I never saw the need to go through the potential annoyance of setting up a firewall. Rest assured, if something bad was ever to happen, my outlook would probably change. Until then, I'm open for business!

[Dyne]

*cracks knuckles* Get ready for a Merry Christmas, then, Alex. :D

Naw, just kidding. And I see you're from Hamilton. I used to live there. :) Well, Oakville. Right beside.

It's still good to run a simple firewall to guard against those crackers.

[Alex]

I'll look into that, Bond.

And Dyne, you say you used to live in Oakville? Very cool. I picked up some used headphones off someone there back in October, it's a really nice place. As for Hamilton, well, it's a dump. To be honest, I don't live in Hamilton (anymore). I moved to Caledonia (just outside, near Cayuga) almost 15 years ago.

Quite a few close Canadians on GameTavern.

[Gamer]

94, but some of the questions are gay, and you would have to be a serious nerd to know that ****.

[Rndm_Perfection]

40, and I'm quite glad I got that low. Why the hell would I want to visit/register to most of the sites or purchase a PDA/Cell Phone/Lap top? Possession does not equal Gadgetry IQ. But, whatever.

[TheSlyMoogle]

145,

Hmm I'm more of tech whiz than I thought. Um that question about how to dodge the RIAA? On an MSN website? I don't get that?

[Canyarion]

Ok I did this test: http://web.tickle.com/tests/uiq/?sid=1443&supp=CPA728x90Quiz3&test=uiqogt
It seems like a pretty reliable test.

I got a 135 score. I have to admitt that my brother was helping me, but I don't think there were any question that I would have gotten wrong without his help.
PS you have to register before they reveal you the score. :(

[Perfect Stu]

79. seems appropriate...

[Typhoid]

I got a 127, and apparently im good with words, and would be a good speaker, and can easily make sense of complex verbal questions.......This sounds rigged or fake...

Yes it is one of the thing that mine said.Good example.What does a conspiracy smell like?I understand.Some may cottage cheese, but not all.

[Typhoid]

*gasps*
You mean you dont know the smell of a conspiracy!?!? Well i guess it kinda smells like moldy cheese.

[Crash]

what a geek.

[Yoda9864]

I got a 133. That's actually just about right. I did an actually professonal test like 2 years ago and I got an 138.

[Canyarion]

Argh what test are you talking about? The first one (Crash?) sounds pretty crappy!
