What Type of Creative Geek Are you? – The 56 Geek Types

Submitted by Richard Darell116,572 Views | 116 Comments

Electronic GeekIntroduction

So, ever so often you might think of yourself as a geek. A geek in all it’s awesomeness. (Why think otherwise?) But did you ever start thinking about WHAT kind of geek you are? Everything you do and say can be analyzed into one single, truly super powered, nerd stereotype.

Remember, there are no choosing here. You simply have to look to your characteristics and go by the charted and outlined types. Now don’t cheat!

The sky is the limit!

    I believe that fighters and single seaters will go to drones very quickly, but I do not see the death of manned aviation.

    UAVs have one major weakness. reliability. Once something breaks, not having a guy sitting directly in the cockpit to troubleshoot and compensate on sight becomes a major liability.

    So I see a manned future for tankers, bombers, and cargo planes well into the future. A F-UAV falling out of the sky might lawn-dart into a single house. A KC-UAV going down could take out half a town.

    One concern with this technique that was expressed was that you need to know the horse will stand in the trailer before you shut the door. I would agree with this to a point. There is a fine line here, in that you also don’t want the horse to get the idea that he can come out when he wants to. Instead of when you ask him to. So here is a bit more to my trailer training to clarify.
