THE NEW HACKER TEST - 2003 REWRITE
Rewritten by Zephyr on Apr 19,2003
This is a rewrite of “The Hacker Test” that was originally written by Felix Lee, John Hayes and Angela Thomas in 1989.
The reason I decided to rewrite it was:
a) Most people wouldn’t score very well because 1/2 of the questions were very outdated and couldn’t be answered by anyone who wasn’t born before the 70’s
b) I was very bored
Have fun going through 500+ questions :)
***Post it, send it, let it propagate to the far corners of the net, but dont forget to leave it unchanged and put the authors name in it***
**************************************************************************
Scoring - Count 1 for each item that you have done, or each question that you can answer correctly.
If you score is between: You are:
0x000 and 0x020 -> Computer Illiterate
0x021 and 0x040 -> a User
0x041 and 0x080 -> an Operator
0x081 and 0x100 -> a Nerd
0x101 and 0x140 -> a Hacker
0x141 and 0x180 -> a Guru
0x181 and 0x1FB -> a LOD/H incarnate
***Note: If you don't understand the scoring, stop here.
