[This is the ultimate Star Trek Quiz](http://www.resortrex.com/rigel7/trek_quiz.cfm), and mercy on your souls if you actually pass this thing. I made it as far ans Ensign, but then again, That’s where it starts you off at. Funny, the rank higher then Ensign is Couch Potato. Good Luck! ---

I’m stuck at human. I could have made it higher if it had more questions on TNG, DS9, and Voyager. Especially Voyager. ---

Does that quiz ever end? I got all the way up to Vulcan before I missed the techno rock question. Then it bumped me to couch potato. Their methodology is suspect. I was most impressed that I knew Kirks safe combination. It was a joke years ago on some show I saw. I’m not a trekkie, I just happen to have a photographic memory and apparently can guess pretty well. I was somewhat offended they called me a trek geek, I’ve only seen the shows on sci-fi repeats. ---

Heaven help me I’ve made it to “Officer”. Their methodology is, indeed, suspect. KC ---

I made if to Officer…after about 20 minutes of questions. The “Bonus Questions” about sound equipment stumped me… ---

D\*mn! Now I’ve hit “Organian”. Shoulda moved out of my parent’s basement sooner, I guess. KC ---

Geez, that damn test goes on forever! I made it to Rigellian. I had no life in the '60s. ---

I got as high as Trek Geek. I guess I’m just a good guesser. My final ranking was Yeoman. ---

I made Bill Gates. Was as high as Admiral but missed some at the end. From watching the rankings, it appears that you receive alot of credit for the music questions. Great Link. Thanks ---

Ha HA!!! I made Rigellian! (I missed about 35 questions. How many were in this thing!?) Considering I watched the original Star Trek show in reruns from 1970 to 1986, I’m surprised I missed as many as I did. (Except for those stupid music synthesizer questions.) ---

I’m with Kevin. I made it to Rigellian and quit. I missed a lot of questions, but I got all the bonus music questions. Those are what ultimately advanced me. Way to long. ---

Oh, my God, but that goes on and on and on and on and on… I made it to Organian - aren’t they a higher life form? BTW, wasn’t Scotty a Lt. Commander and not just a Lt. as the quiz indicated? Yeah, I know, I just have buckets of useless trivia cluttering up my brain. It’s sad. ---

I, too, am a citizen of Rigel, according to Rigel 7’s quiz… I gotta say, that was some very funny shit. I loved all the little snide remarks, well thought out. Especially on the one about “what tribbles ate”… I was like, “It’s not just GRAIN, it’s quadrotriticale!!!” …sure enough, when I hit grain, it said, “Yup. Give yourself a pat on the back if you said, “Quadrotriticale.” And, GET A LIFE!” I also got all the one’s about all the elektronica equipment. ---

Made officer - that’s pretty frightening, since I haven’t seen TOS since college. The responses to wrong answers are a hoot. I responded “over-sexed” to an accusation leveled against Kirk. The response: “Always true, but never stated” Don’t forget to get your band name: [http://www.resortrex.com/rigel7/name\_gen.htm](http://www.resortrex.com/rigel7/name_gen.htm) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/startrek-geek-quiz/31361.md?page=2)
