Geek.
Some of these questions are crazy! Although, I think I could have gotten a higher score
if they asked some other questions. For example, I have created an IPA keyboard
layout...because I actually type in IPA very often. That's pretty geeky!

I am 28% and "Language Geek"!
I especially laughed upon reading this one: "pretended to make "friends" with people while I was only really interested in their native languages"...I mean, I didn't pretend, so to speak, but rather forced my hanging out with them so I could speak with them in their L1, my L2.
:D
nice test, OP!

I am now, thanks to this crazy place. I read threads about things like Arabic which I
have no interest in studying, I don't even know why. Moth to a flame.
But I think this test should be called "Are you a language freak", which I am not. "I
want to make first contact with an undiscovered tribe and communicate with them"? Yeah,
that rather describes a freak in conjunction with some of the other choices.
