The .NET Super Nerd Test

Alright so I put together a little test for you guys to determine how much of a super nerd you are with .NET.

1) When you are at verizon and the lady at the other end is banging away at the keyboard for 45 minutes do you:
   a) Fume about how long it takes
   b) Wonder who programmed their crappy CRM
   c) Call up Verizons Corporate office to offer to reprogram their CRM for free

2) You just got married and your wife wants you to put 100 high res images on the web. You will need to resize all these to fit on the web, do you:
   a) Open up your favorite picture editor and resize all 100
   b) Write a program to do it for you
   c) Go onto codeplex and start an open source image editing project

3) When you hear a java vs .NET debate raging outside of your cube do you:
   a) Continue to get your work done because you have a deadline
   b) Forget about your project and get involved in this 2 hour discussion
   c) Win the arguement and then write a blog article about it that begins an epic flame war

4) If you had to live on an island for a month would you choose:
   a) A hot male/female companion
   b) An X-Box 360 with a plasma tv
   c) A solar powered laptop with a sat uplink to the internet

5) What is your favorite operating system
   a) Windows XP because you don't like change
   b) Windows Vista/7
   c) Windows Vista/7 Lite

6) I like to use (if they all apply pick c)
   a) Classes
   b) Interfaces, Abstract Classes, and my own generated Data Access Layer
   c) The DOM Directly, Mock Frameworks, and F# whenever possible

Scoring:

• A answers are worth 0 points
• b answers are worth 1 point
• c answers are worth 2 points

Scale:

• 0 - 3 = Nooblet. You really don't know that much but thats ok because people like you.
• 4 - 6 = You are able to expertly balance nerdiness with a normal life. You may even have a family and be able to carry on normal conversations that will never invoke the word instantiation.
• 7 - 9 = You have some serious super nerd tendencies. Although you are a god at work others may find you somewhat arrogant. You hope to one day have a family but are still looking for that steady partner.
• 10 -12 = If you scored in this region then you are over the top super nerd. You may want to seek counseling to help you score lower on this test. The bad news is that you are probably not datable at this range.
