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

@

|

for this variable, said trait is not very rigid, may change with time or with individual interaction. For example, Geeks who happen to very much enjoy Star Trek: The Next Generation, but dislike the old 60’s series might list themselves as t++@.

()
|
||||
|

for indicating “cross-overs” or ranges. Geeks who go from C+ to C— depending on the situation (i.e. mostly “C+”) could use C+(—). @ is different from () in that () has finite limits within the category, while @ ranges all over.
|
||||
|

>
|
||||
|
||||
for ‘wannabe’ ratings. Indicating that while the geek is currently at one rating, they are striving to reach another. For example, C++>$ indicating a geek that is currently computer savvy, but wants to someday make money at it.
|
||||
|
||||
$
|
||||
|
||||
Indicates that this particular category is done for a living. For example, UL+++$ indicates that the person utilizes Unix and gets paid for it. Quite a lucky geek, for sure.
|
||||
|
||||
?
|
||||
|
||||
Unless stated otherwise within the specific category, the ? is placed after the category identifier and indicates that the geek has no knowledge about that specific category. For example, a person that has never even heard of Babylon 5, would list their Babylon 5 category as 5?
|
||||
|
||||
!
|
||||
|
||||
Placed BEFORE the category. Unless stated otherwise, indicates that the person refuses to participate in this category. This is unlike the ? variable as the ? indicates lack of knowledge, while the ! indicates stubborn refusal to participate. For example, !E would be a person that just plain refuses to have anything to do with Emacs, while E? would be a person that doesn’t even know what Emacs is.

### P – 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.
|
||||
|
||||
PS – Political and Social Issues
|
||||
Rate where, in general, your political views on different social issues fall. The + and – ratings here roughly indicate left/right on the political spectrum.

|
||||
### ENTERTAINMENT
|
||||
|
||||
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…

||||

### 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.

|
||||
#### Sex
|
||||
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 for that matter), 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, while males use ‘y’. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
For those persons who do not wish to give out any details of their sex life, the use of z? (where z is the gender code) will allow you to do so.
