Version 4.x was released on GitHub on October 18, 2019. Some categories have been removed, others added, some altered. The v3.x undergraduate weltanschaung has been supplanted by a more seasoned outlook.

In version 4, tv/series are given its own category (since geeks may watch something else besides Star Trek)

## POLITICS
|
||||
|
||||
The last few years has seen the rise of the political geek. This phenomena is little understood, but some theorize that it has come about because of the popular media's attempts to demonize the Internet and computer use in general, and the government's willingness to go along with it. Others propose that the aging geek population has simply started taking an interest in the world around them. Some support the "Sun Spot" theory. As of v4 some new subcategories are added to the PS and PE categories.

Geeks love to play. No matter their age, all geeks enjoy playing. Of course, the object of this entertainment takes a myriad of different forms. What is it that pushes a geek to play? Is it simply a desire to relive their childhood? Or perhaps there is a piece of geeky genetic code that requires intellectual stimulation. Who knows, maybe it's a Freudian thing…

Role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons have long been a part of the traditional geek life. Because geeks often become so involved in their role-playing that they lose touch with reality, include one of the following role-playing codes.

## LIFESTYLE
|
||||
|
||||
Geeks, unlike the lower lifeforms known as nerds, have lives. They have things to do that are in the outside world. Of course, this is usually done with other geeks, but that's not the point. The point is,, that geeks are not necessarily the outcasts society often believes they are. The fact is that society isn't kool enough to be included in our activities.

### mbti - Personality

### RELATIONSHIPS AND SEX
|
||||
|
||||
While many geeks are highly successful at having relationships, a good many more are not.
|
||||
|
||||
Geeks have traditionally had problems with sex (ie, they never have any). Because geeks are so wrapped up in their sexuality (or lack of sexuality), it is important that the geek be willing to quantify their sexual experiences.
|
||||
|
||||
This code also is used to denote the gender of the geek.
|
||||
|
||||
Females use 'x' in this category.

Females use 'X' in this category.

|

||||
Those that do not wish to disclose their gender can use 'Z'. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|

x+ = A female who has had sex
|
||||
y+ = A male who has had sex.

z+ = A person (gender undisclosed) who has had sex.

!z = neither my sex nor my sex life are any of your beeswax

z++ = I was once referred to as 'easy'. I have no idea where that might have come from though.
