What percentage of users are "Notquitegeeks"?

Note: I had the wrong web address! My mistake, sorry it is fixed now

I was reading at article in Firstglimpse Magazine that asked what type of tech user are you? As I continue to work on the definition of a not quite geek, this caught my eye. Based on a study done by the Pew Internet Project (they get quoted a lot these days) between 23-31% fall into the category I classify as a not quite geek. The variance is that their Omnivore description may include true geeks (8%). You can take their survey at www.pewinternet.org/quiz and find out how you rate. I'll post my category later.

Enjoy.

Pretty pathetic that the URL to the Survey is not only broken (no "DOT" before org), but the resulting domain doesn't even exist!

So not only is the link broken, it goes to an invalid URL.

I see now that Art's survey results came back as "as utterly far removed from geek as possible" :-)
