What type of geek are you?

Written by Brian Teeman

My nephew came home from school on friday and asked what was a geek. I tried to explain to him that there were many types of geeks. Some of which I would be happy to be associated with, others I'd run a mile from.

Trying to illustrate my point to him I googled and stumbled across the amazing work of Scott Johnson, creator and artist for ExtraLife.

As a skilled artists and cartoonist he has identified 56 different types of geeks and created a poster of them all. You can even commision him to create a new geek type just for you.

What type of geek are you? Or what geek-type did Scott miss.

About Brian Teeman

  • As a co-founder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc I've never been known to be lacking an opinion or being too afraid to express it.

    Despite what some people might think I'm a shy and modest man who doesnt like to blow his own trumpet or boast about achievements.

    But it seems that no blog exists without an "About" page so rather than talk about what an amazingly great guy I am and list all the things I've achieved (and failed at) in life from my Cycling Proficiency Test in 1976 to winning an award for the "UK Individual Contribution to Open / Source" in 2005 here are some links.
