The Otaku Scale. How Otaku are you?

[Nem]

I've been diagnosed with 8% otaku corruption.

Not surprised, I have a very, very, very picky taste.

[AJS]

This looks pretty thorough, although is focuses specifically on anime otaku-ness. 200 questions, you just tick the box if the sentence applies to you.

Edit: Actually, it seems like it's a pretty old quiz. They're talking about video tapes and whatnot.

How the hell does owning a TV make you an otaku?

Anyway, I got 23.5% otaku corrupt (So...would that be a good thing or a bad thing?), and a weirdness factor of 15%.

[Kasu]

83.0% otaku pure (17.0% otaku corrupt) with a weirdness factor of 8%.

Huh.  Not exactly sure whether this higher or lower than I expected.

As for the rating asked at the beginning of the thread I'd say... 5.  I watch anime and read manga, but apart from that I don't usually mention it much outside of my home.

[gammaraptor]

72.0% Otaku Pure (28.0% Otaku corrupt) with a weirdness factor of 10%

[Cadmas]

How the hell does owning a TV make you an otaku?

Omg you own a TV? Haha, what a nerd!

 

[Alfred F. Jones]

>otaku pure

:akihawhat:

[Iryan]

12.5% "corrupt".

Though I -did- answer a few of these yes even though they technically weren't correct since Touhou is not an anime, else it'd be even lower.

But eh, technicalities. I am sure nobody would get angry if you called Touhou an anime, right?



...  :moogy:

[HakureiSM]

The avatars and signatures here provide beter statistical data than that quiz

[OverCoat]

You answered "yes" to 56 of 200 questions, making you 72.0% otaku pure (28.0% otaku corrupt).

hmm

surprisingly, this test doesn't seem THAT dated. You can replace animayhem with whatever other CCGs people play now [tanto cuore probably counts] and you can replace "laserdiscs" with DVDs


but... if I actually have anime on laserdisc in this day and age... :O I've seen laserdiscs of Akira and Ghost in the Shell come through my store and I wanted to buy them so bad, but some guy got them before I could take my lunch break  :smokedcheese:

I don't see how it does. Everyone here haz dat hawt 3D gurlz on their avatars/sigs.

[SuperParadox]

You answered "yes" to 31 of 200 questions, making you 84.5% otaku pure (15.5% otaku corrupt).

Guess this was expected. I can't even remember when I last picked up a manga...

[Maav]

You answered "yes" to 46 of 200 questions, making you 77% otaku pure (23% otaku corrupt).

:V

[theshirn]

I'll let my avatar do the talking.

[Maav]

I'll let my avatar do the talking.

brb fap

[Athrel]

I got a 20% otaku corrupt with a weirdness rating of 11%

[Suikama]

brb fap

you saying you like dudes?

[Widermelonz]

22% otaku corrupt for me. According to this, it looks like I wasn't off the mark when I said I was around 3/10.

"Have you [...] even though you don't understand Japanese?"
How would the people who actually know Japanese answer these?

And oh man, that last question was kinda outta nowhere.

[Fetch()tirade]

75% pure, 25% corrupt. 11% weirdness.

WHAT BITCHES

191.

I hate to admit that I had to check this box.

I don't see how it does. Everyone here haz dat hawt 3D gurlz on their avatars/sigs.

You're a funny one, Maav.
Tell me, do you like bananas?

[Ibaraki Ibuki]

90% pure and 12% weirdness; I guess I vastly overestimated my otaku-ness (though my weirdness is now confirmed).

[Maav]

you saying you like dudes?

I don't see any dude in anyone's avvy/sign here.

You're a funny one, Maav.
Tell me, do you like bananas?

Can't listen to videos (PC w/o sound, etc) atm. >_>
So, let's say, no. I'll get to the joke later. :V

[♛ Apher-Forte]

I think this should be highly subjective.
If you are crazy enough to spend on Nendoroids: +1
if you are spending on figma: +2
If you are spending on cold cast figurines: +3
If you are spending on MG/PG Gunpla: +5 at least simply because how the fuck do you glue those fucking things together?

seriously, it should be tested with 'dedication' as a mean and averaged out by how often you do your other important life things.
and then substract the game, DVD, you own, and times how many hours you play them/per day.

This is probably what I do it with than say... using a quiz that is quite dated. 

[Zil]

That's a bad quiz I think.

Owning a TV - 1 point
Referring to anime as anime - 1 point
Learning Japanese for the sole purpose of watching anime - 1 point

Those things shouldn't all be equal.

It gave me 30% currupt or something, but I was very liberal with some interpretations. The quiz didn't pay much attention to video games, and made no mention of visual novels. I think I'd rate myself around 8/10.

[trancehime]

I don't see any dude in anyone's avvy/sign here.

theshim's (GET SMART) avatar is Kanji from Persona 4.

Kanji is a dude.

Took ye olde otaku test:

You answered "yes" to 46 of 200 questions, making you 77.0% otaku pure (23.0% otaku corrupt).
Your Weirdness Factor (AKA Uniqueness Factor) is 13%, based on a comparison of your test results with 91823 other submissions for this test.

[Drake]

these questions are stupid
>doreamon
seriously what

I got 70 questions in before ragequitting. There has got to be something better than this.

[Helepolis]

I got 70 questions in before ragequitting. There has got to be something better than this.

Code: [Select]

111 - Do you hang out on #anime!?
112 - Do you hang out on #anime?
133 - Have you ever worn a female Sailor Moon character costume at a convention?
194 - Do native Japanese people walk into your room and go "sugoi!"?

* Helepolis facepalms

You answered "yes" to 11 of 200 questions, making you 94.5% otaku pure (5.5% otaku corrupt).
Your Weirdness Factor (AKA Uniqueness Factor) is 15%, based on a comparison of your test results with 91823 other submissions for this test.

No idea where this 15% weirdness comes from. Maybe because I said "Yes" what is Doujinshi" and similar knowledge questions.

I don't see how it does. Everyone here haz dat hawt 3D gurlz on their avatars/sigs.

I'll let my avatar do the talking.

Echoing Shim here.

[trancehime]

I got 70 questions in before ragequitting. There has got to be something better than this.

The test is also probably a couple of decades old, when VHSes were still used for animu and the like. Same with the questions on DBZ, Sailor Moon, etc.

[Mr_Bob]

194 - Do native Japanese people walk into your room and go "sugoi!"?

C'mon, that one was hilarious. 
27 of 200 = 13.5% corrupt, 10% weird.

I'll let my avatar do the talking.

BEEP BOOP

[Iryan]

The avatars and signatures here provide beter statistical data than that quiz

Considering that both avatar and signature picture of me were choses/made for me by other people...  :derp:

No idea where this 15% weirdness comes from. Maybe because I said "Yes" what is Doujinshi" and similar knowledge questions.

That's it mostly for me, too.  :derp:

[Darth_Sirov]

I tried the quiz, but I also found it to be very misplaced in some questions or are very limiting or not up to par. What can I say? It was submitted in 1998, which is to say, not too relevant in today's standards.

But in any case:

You answered "yes" to 54 of 200 questions, making you 73.0% otaku pure (27.0% otaku corrupt).
Your Weirdness Factor (AKA Uniqueness Factor) is 10%, based on a comparison of your test results with 91823 other submissions for this test.

I still have no idea on this pure or corrupt (is that how bad the addiction is or something?)

[gammaraptor]

Even though it's old, all the other tests I've found have been pretty trashy. And apparently, the more otaku corrupt you are, the more otaku you are. It wasn't particularly clear.
