   Sad to say, my co-workers were right. Here are my results from the
   [1]Asperger's test:

     32 - 50 Scores over 32 are generally taken to indicate Asperger's
     Syndrome or high-functioning autism, with more than 34 an "extreme"
     score. 31
     30
     29
     28
     27
     26
     25
     24 Average math contest winner
     23
     22
     21 Average male or female computer scientist
     20
     19 Average male scientist, and average male or female physicist
     18 Average man
     17 Average female scientist
     16
     15 Average woman, and average male or female biologist

     The test assesses five different areas. Autistic-like responses
     will show poor social skill, attention switching, communication and
     imagination, and an exaggerated attention to detail. In other
     words, geekiness. You scored 14.

   But..I know how to use fgrep, I can write batch files, I drive a Prius
   - how can I be so ungeeky?
