Wired's Geekster Handbook: Which Kind of Geek Are You?

Apr 10 2008 - 4:45am

This month's Wired brings you their take on the geek hierarchy [1] — remember when we surmised [2] that there were many different types of geekdom? Well, Wired agrees, and they've offered up six types of geek: The Fanboy (classic Star Wars/Simpsons lover and defender), the Music Geek (think Rob Gordon from High Fidelity [3]), the Gamer (your thumbs are always sore), The Gadget Guy (3G + iPhone = drool), the Hacker (fears the sun), and the Otaku (all Manga, all the time).

Do you fall into any of the categories, or are you a different kind — or a hybrid geek?
