I guess its gonna be one of those days geek. 1 point 
The highest "geek number" on the site
Sort:
There's got to be someone in the "tech" cluster, i.e. portable + robot + photo + electronics etc., who will top my number.
Jedi + Nintendo + Film + Anime + History = 5.
[COMMENT DELETED]
They misspelled "collectible," so I'm a spelling geek at least.
I don't know if just knowing how to cook makes for a geek, but in that vein:
Trek+Comics+Book+Food=4
I'll add "SPELLING" as a new category...
Okay. Only five geeks out of over 3 Million members ? I know you geeks are shy, but this is ridiculous.

Bahahaha, if it makes you feel any better, I would like to add "spelling/grammar" to my count. :)
No chess geek?
sports, film, book, cook. Maybe tv, anime, depending on how stringent the definitions are.
Oh, and definitely spelling.
Theoreticalboy bumps the total to an incredible six. Thanks, vowles...
"Chess" is a given. If you find your way to this forum and post, you are a chess geek.
[Seven now.]
No Beer Geek?
Good find, dannyhume. Doesn't the guy in a black T-Shirt look like Magnus Carlsen?
Wow, I never realized that Carlsen is not a geek, but rather a wad!!
Maybe that is why there is no "chess geek" in those lovely water-color pictures opening this thread...chess may in fact fit better under a wad system of classification, though previously I would have thought it more accurately under a geek or nerd system of classification.

I need a more clear definition of what a geek is in this system. For example, I frequently read articles about robotics, but I have never built one and don't really want to try. Does that qualify me as a robot geek or not?
Count the number of geek categories you fall under from the chart below to determine your "geek number." Mine is: TREK + COMICS + FILM + TRAVEL + FITNESS + BOOK + COLLECTIBLE + HISTORY = 8 , which is not that high.

BOOK 4 instances
HISTORY 4
SPELLING/GRAMMAR 3
