Taken from Gizmodo:

Taking the test is simple. There are 50 statements. Mark down one point for yourself for every one that applies to you. At the end, score yourself. We can't solve your problems, but at least we can help you figure out just how bad your problems are. And that's something, right?

5. I have ended real friendships over arguments about computer or product choices.

13. I live or have lived for an extended period completely nocturnally, sitting at my computer all night and sleeping all day.
14. I generally do not leave my home if it's not necessary for work or food retrieval.
15. I have over 50,000 Xbox 360 Gamerpoints.
16. I work in electronics retail.
17. I generally am only friends with other Apple people/Windows people.
18. My sense of humor is more in line with 4chan than any other comedic source.
19. I hang out exclusively with members of the same sex.
20. I own and wear a cowboy hat, Kangol hat, fedora and/or bowler.
21. I am the dominant talker in most conversations I have.
22. I think the Star Wars trilogy/Star Trek series is the greatest thing ever put to celluloid and will argue all night about it.

24. I have a level 80 character in World of Warcraft.
25. I've dressed up as a video game character/manga character in public on a day other than Halloween.

I give Dave a yes on #31 for shizzle.

In a way, the 80's are kinda similar to modern-day times.----Severin

I didn't keep a totally accurate count, but I'm in the mid to high single digits. Still under 10, if that matters.

If a few of these questions were worded differently (like 22 Star Wars) I probably would've broken the teens.

I don't get 20 at all.

And honestly, if you even know the reference in 18 you should get 2 points.

If Chad and Jeckles both get under 10 too, then this test is seriously flawed.

And seriously, what's up with Q20?

I scored 9.

And I do own and wear a fedora. Though only as part of sensible business attire (suit, overcoat, etc) when its bloody cold out. However, I'd never wear a fedora with jeans and a t-shirt, which is I think what they're getting at.

The reason for #20:
