First, you can't judge my results without first knowing your own, so I suggest you click here to test your own level of fanaticism before you judge my own. Hey, at least I'm honest enough to publish my results to all the thousands who visit the site here and why not... Hey, it just goes to show how much I know, which I realize now is just far too much. That said, here are my results. Take the test yourself and see what you can agree and agree with. Again, click here for the link.
