I have always heard that our community has a lot of members that are of what I would call the intelligent geek factor. I was wondering if that was true so I came up with this poll. Select any of the choices that are true for you. I am not sure what overall score will dictate our geek factor yet. (yes I know these are somewhat stereotypes but I mean it as innocently as possible)
Edited for my morning typing problems.

Signed,

A self-acknowledged geek and bookworm!

ETA - Make that 6-7. I've been to a number of cons and cosplayed....

I think you have missed a large segment of the geek community.

Status: offline 		There problem solved. I came up with this poll at 2 am while I was trying to sleep last night but thinking of the forums so I guess I shouldve rethought it better this morning. :) Thanks for helping on that one.

Status: offline 		Hey! Only poetry? Geesh, I KNOW I'm geekier than that !
Yep, I'd say I've seen a pretty large proportion of  what I'd call "geeks" --  out of those into D/s or Master/slave relationships, or even the transcient  role-playing  of Tops and bottoms.
As a "pleaser" personality, I HAD to be a good student in school! I HAD to avoid having teachers be upset with me. I craved their approval. Intellectual geekiness? Oh, yeah.
I also now realize that developing a strong intellect helps insulate me from being so vulerable to all my powerful & scary feelings, trusting too deeply / too soon, and it helped/helps me hide how gullible I am from predators, --- I wish the tactic worked better there though....

I would have added other things to the survey, like reading the encyclopedia for fun, Sci-fi buffs, not fitting in with the cheerleader cliche', enjoying the thoughts of Stephen Hawking,... stuff like that.

Status: offline 		I checked two and debated on whether or not I should check the RPG. Technically, I have played one exactly once, but it wasn't sci-fi/fantasy based. I was an IRA terrorist on loan to the FLQ on a mission to assassinate the then Canadian Minister of the Interior, Mark McGuigan. The FLQ guy left me to be ripped to shreds by attack dogs. Okay. Yeah, I should have checked it.
