Over 15 years ago I gained access to the internet and came across something called The Hacker Test. It was a fasncinating compilation of various questions that the authors thought a computer enthusiast might do. I loved the test, but even at the time I found it, it was a bit dated. In recent years I searched around and found The Geek Test(I recommend taking both), but I wanted something more computer oriented so I wrote this one. The points and scoring on this test are COMPLETELY BIASED towards what *I* think counts as a computer geek.
