So where do you fit, if at all? And when did you discover your super power? Personally I was about 14 and was spending way too much time in front of my PC when my own dad told me I was 'a geek'

I replied something like "would you prefer I was out with my other friends, smoking pot?" which promptly shut him up and made him bring food and other treats to my PC for me. Win!

No-one's going to readily admit to anything other than "geek", if only for the reason that the set labels "Intelligence" and "Obsession" have positive/neutral connotations, while "Social Ineptitude" has overtly negative ones.

Also, Intelligence should be more blue.

You'd be surprised, a lot of people on digg admitted to being a nerd or dweeb. If you're socially inept you're probably not going to worry too much about your social status

I tick all the boxes, what do I win? Social people can go screw themselves.

Dave I knew you'd admit to being a nerd

On that diagram I'm "intelligence"

So you're not even a little obsessed with computers? *glances at your sig*

I like modding and overclocking my PC it's one of many different activitys I enjoy + according to my mates i'm a geek/nerd/dweeb/dork even though I'm not socially inept, nor that intelligent and not obsessive! I'm just random old me!

Overclocking!?! That's obsessive! Leave it alone!

Don't need a chart to tell me I'm a Geek

It's for everyone else. I've printed it out and put it on my desk, and will continue to point those who call me the IT nerd to it.
