The test was definately skewed in favor of younger geeks/nerds,
[assuming that geekdom is desirable]
not really skewed, cos older geeks have access to modern technology whereas i have never even seen a slide rule, just read about them in old sci-fi books (though this has possibly more to do with my lack of education rather than my age, who knows?). if it was skewed i would say it was skewed in favour of american geeks. for example, there was no such thing as band camp or math camp in my childhood experience. i was going to say that geek is a modern american term so thats cool with me, but merriam webster has this to say:
