My Geek IQ

Ok I'm a 15 year veteran of the IT industry and I architected some of the worlds largest EDI data processors; however, even with my back ground I have to wonder exactly how long will the information I have in my head be applicable to the industry and to business in general. For me that is a rather large paradox because I am somewhat of a visionary and like to think thoughts on a larger scale. Like with BuDuRu, where the question was how could we streamline the communications between businesses on a global scale? So the other day while out doing industry research I came a cross a link to test my Geek IQ at InfoWorld. Naturally being the old geek that I am I figured that the test would be fun; and considering that I remember working my way around the original ARPANET from a terminal I should naturally score rather well. Boy was I wrong, I scored a 35% :). Do the word "You Sucked" come to mind? The funny part was the test actually recommended that I stop by the Men's Warehouse while I quickly and quietly left the IT Department. I have to ask, how many other professionals have taken this or similare tests? And secondly, how did you do? Come on man, I would like to see if the CIO at the White House knows how many ports a single IP address can have without a Google search.
