On a level of 1-10, what is your skill level with computers?

Now if were talking 1 being the average person who only knows how to open Word, 5 being Bill Gates, and 10 being the Einstein of computers, I would say i'm around a 3.

nonono.... 1=Word user, 5=Bill Gates, 10=Preator :P

Average humen scale:
about 7.5-8, depends on the situation


above mentioned scale, about a 3
 
It really depends on what you're talking about. For the most part...maybe a 3-4. There are a few things I am pretty confident in, but an even greater number of things I couldn't even begin to understand.

Seriously, it's like asking someone "how smart are you?" Well..."smart" in what regard? Am I good in math? Is my GPA high? Or can I come up with a cure for all cancer? "smart" is a VERY general term...you need to specify.
 
I'd say my skill's rather low. I mean look at how broad of a topic we're talking about here! You have networking, programming, hardware, software, video, audio, CAD... Man, the list can go on and on. And when you know a PC in and out, what about Macintosh, or SUN... What about Windows/Solaris/Unix/Mac OS/Linux... What about older computers?

I guess about 5 or 6. I know:
*hardware in and out and I've learned a good bit about other systems
*some programming(C++, Java, HTML)
*networking(mostly common LAN stuff, and a little Cisco and high end encription)
*video editing
 
I would say im a 3-4. My main problem is I have no money to buy new stuff and figure out. Before I came here, I didnt know how to build a computer, where to buy parts even, so I bought a prebuilt computer. If I could afford a new computer, Im sure I could build it, and even OC it. But I have no money so I dont know. :P
 
I'd say in the grand scheme of things..., about a 6. I know the most in these areas:

Printers
General Software issues
some Video Card/driver issues
some Sound Card/speaker issues
some Video/Audio editing
some Networking
some Digital Camera
and a pretty good bit about Dreamweaver and other website design software
 
rating your self must depend on your field, if you know alot on computers and your a biology student or someting else you must be preety good. then you can rate your self 10.
 
I don't want to rate myself but in all fairness a 10 being Praetor is a bit much. He knows a lot but I don't think anyone can be a 10, even a 9 is pushing it.

That said, I'll take an 11 :P

seriously, maybe a 7.

no one I think here can be a 10, if your a 10 you must be good at anything on computers and by using that talent you must be so rich already you have all these jobs and wont have time for forums.:D
 
I would say i'm about a 5-6.
I know hardware
some progamming html, VB, java
networking
and some digital pictures and video editing

Not really. Paper knowledge (anything that isn't proven at a given job) is very nearly useless.

I guess my post isn't that clear I rated myself at a 7, the 11 was a joke. or maybe I'm just taking your response as a direct to mine when it's only partially to mine.
 
With software, maybe a 6. 8 with hardware, and about 3 with programming. So average those, and I'm a 5.666.
 
about 3-4

I can solve most general problems myself but when it comes to the hardware side of things im a little stumped:D
