I got 5 out of 10 but all I did was choose "serial killer" for every person shown.

8/10 All of them were guesses, though. That's a very random quiz.

If they looked like a geek, I picked programmer. If not; serial killer.

OK, that was random.......

The really old b/w images I guessed serial killer since there weren't any computers way back then....

Got 5/10 - guess I can't pick out the nerds lol. One of the serial killers was a programmer though!

9/10.

all the ones wearing a tie, except 1, were programmers.

also, if the picture looks like it was taken in 1910 I went for killer....i doubt many programmers were around in those days.
