In summary, Daniel is a geek who doesn't fit the traditional definition of a nerd. He's intelligent and has a lot of interests, but he doesn't fit the stereotype of the socially awkward person who is fascinated by knowledge.

I think some answers weigh much more heavily than others. (actually reading the 'How to speak Klingon' book probably boosted my score quite a bit)

YAAARRRRR. :biggrin: I guess I am both a Pirate (First Mate, 86%) and a Geek/Nerd [or a Gerd, Nerk, or Neek] (Major Geek, 42.20907%). Whattdya know...

I think the high score on the Pirate test was because of my unnatural obscession with peg legs, hooks, wenches, and burying things unnecessarily.

But that was largely becuase of me love o' rum.

:smile: Are you sure you want to be captain of a pirate ship? Conflict management skills like that would really be appreciated...elsewhere!

Back into pirate mode: "arrrrgh...you can't fool me cap'n. I knows me an' me parrot'll be swabbing the decks, cleaning up the mess first mate franz makes as he lumbers around drunkenly, spilling rum all over the ship, before his wenches gently lead him belowdecks!"

Damn...that totally lost it's "pirateness" towards the end. I wasn't sure how to say all that in pirate-speak...

Time t' head fer new waters wi' me entermesser an' me papagei. Veer t' th' backboard, matey. An' don`t delay or it will be zu den Haien schicken, you horn swollgin' scallywag!

Arrggh ... mebbe I'd better light'n up with the rum ... rrrggh
