Some categories will be irrelevant, so ignore them. Some of the qualifiers will not match with you exactly, so choose that qualifier that most closely matches you.
Given a set of category/qualifier strings for any of the above (skip anything you dont want to answer/not relevant/classified/unknown/indeterminate/etc).

### Special characters
A few special characters allow for the (ultimately wrong but practically useful) notion that geeks can seldom be strictly quantified.
