Geek Classification

Okay. We all know we are nerds, in some form. Just what form is it that we take? I understand that a vast majority of you are the "Computer Nerd" classification. But just for my amusement, vote.

I can't select only one of those.  I'm a math geek, a computer geek, a history geek, a political geek, a physics geek, a music geek, a movie geek, a sci-fi geek, and an RPG gamer geek.

You don't even have all of those categories.

And I don't think I'm the only one that will be pointing that out here.  :)

And, for the record, I am in no way, shape, or form a "nerd" of any kind.  A couple of people here who have met me IRL can attest to that.

I've always thought of labels as being self-limiting by nature.

Hi there people... just thot id say that this forum is kinda pointless as it well... doesn’t even know what it is... GEEK? wot is geek? General Electrical Engineering Knowledge!!!!!! Geeks and nerds are different. Geeks are computer and electrical based and nerds are like maths and physics, etc. just thot id put my point across as this really annoys me when ppl say they are a computer nerd or a math geek. coz it makes no sense when you use the actual meaning of the word geek... rant over thank you and please dnt call urself that again! :@

I don't know, but it's holding paintbrushes and looks vaguely diseased or perhaps disordered...not quite sure what to make of it.

I'm one of those geeks that fits into multiple categories, but I know more about some than others.
hehe, the geek geek is kind of funny. that's random...haha.
and...not to be perfectly typical or anything but I think there should be a band geek on that list.  :-)

edit: yayyyy i'm an idiot because there already was a band geek on that list! feel free to throw rocks and or green beans at me.

Question one:
If I'm a jack-of-everything-except-technology can I still select 'Jack of all Trades', or should I stick with 'Other'?.

Question two:
Is it safe to call a theologian a geek? I always figured several different god-like entities, or entities with god-like qualities, might strike you down for labeling a theologian as anything but a theologian.
