It has to be created, by someone, someday, you know it. There's not a chance that we can make it without someone taking it upon themselves to write one, so that we can all see how Everythingified we all are...

Thanks quite much to MoJoe, anotherone, and liveforever for their question ideas, as I've used some of them, and will probably use more in the next draft - I just wanted to limit the first one to 250 questions.

Scoring:

Rather simple. Add up the number of YES answers you have. Multiply it by 0.4. Subtract the result from 100. This is your percentage of purity when it comes to E2.

I won't give some fancy and arbitrary scale to measure yourself against - you can only measure against other noders. However, anything less than 25% pure and you really probably should spend a little less time here and more time on real life :)

Scoring:

0-1:
BORG MEAT. NEXT!
2-42:
You've been to this site a few times, you might even stay.
42-75:
Yeah, you're cool. You're on your way to pedantry. You might make a lasting impression on this site. Of course, 100 years from now, will it matter?
75-100:
Ok, I respect you. You've obviously devoted some time to this place. You are most likely addicted to E2. Don't fight it- you'll be better for it. I think. I hope.
100-125:
Dang! Slow down. Take a deep breath, finish your Mountain Dew, and go outside. To buy more soda, of course.
125-(whatever the maximum number of points there are, it's not like I'm gonna count them):
Ok, you're probably above me on other users. You most likely have already lost all connections with your 'offline' life- why not just let go entirely? What's that? You have? Never mind, continue noding.
My score, for the curious: 82. I'm not sure if this is good or bad.
