Wow. I'm just about everything below published sci-fi author and above furry.

I don't buy the basic premise of the hierarchy, because I don't think that RPGers and science fiction fans comprise a majority of the geek universe.

While I fall into the Trekkies who speak klingon spot, I also think there should be some computer component to this flowchart.

Well, if published sci-fi authors is level 1, I'm firmly in level 4. As is my husband.
Geekiest Star Trek moments:
==> Being at CES, seeing a Klingon walk by, not thinking "oh, that's someone *dressed* as a Klingon", and not thinking it was weird (even out of context) that a Klingon would walk by.
==> Going to see First Contact opening night, getting p***ed when we saw some idiot shining a laser pointer on the screen, turning around and seeing it was a borg, turning around and saying "well, that's okay then."
PS - my favorite Piers Anthony (reference to unabridged chart) series is the Incarnations of Immortality. Seconded by the Phaze series probably.

I'm level 2/3, working on level 1.
All this time, I've been laboring under the assumption that I'm writing because I'm a writer. Now I know that I'm writing because I need to put myself as far away from furries as possible.
