I'm wondering how people here are getting such high scores in technology/computers. Are you saying you write code in ADA and FORTRAN all the time?

I'm not sure, I said that I used BASiC and C, but never heard of ADA and I don't know what that microchip is. Still got 60~%

So I beat you both there, and I get <60% in Technology/Computers? Something is fishy.

No idea why that high on Sci-Fi/Comic though. Just because I could acquire DCs Watchmen in 15 seconds?

Acquire? I believe the question was about you reaching for one in your room.

The test doesn't display a percentage of points, but your percentile. As almost nobody uses ADA/FORTRAN, you can reach a high percentile without it.

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate

Considering that my purchases/gifts in the last month or so have been:
    The Complete Tales of the Brothers Grimm Douglas Adams' The Salmon of Doubt Monty Python Complete Series box set (Region 2 UK edition!) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Blu-ray) Rocky Horror Picture Show (2-disc edition) Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein Six Roger Rabbit comic books Krazy & Ignatz 1929-1930 A 8 GB memory card ...and a button that reads "I have seen the backside of water"
I really do feel I should have scored higher.

I hope youve already read it, best book I ever read. Especialy since I find the Dirk Gently-Novels way more entertaining then the Hitchhiker-Series.

Anyone else selected sex over internet without thinking, then was struck by a crushing claustrophobic feeling over the thought of never being able to use the internet again and changed the selection?
