So, there are a few large SharePoint events coming up including SPSNYC, SPSTC, and the pinnacle of SharePoint conferences The Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Anaheim, CA. As these events approach it becomes more and more important that we label each other effectively. We need to know who is cool and who to avoid. Should I walk up and shake your hand when I see you or quickly cross to the other side of the room?? These are important questions!
Are you a SharePoint Rock Star with legions of adoring fans, your own clothing line, and a library of books written by you? Or are you a SharePoint Stalker? Do you giggle like a school girl when your SharePoint idol mentions you on twitter and toss and turn the night before the next SharePoint Saturday in anticipation of just being in the same room as those you adore?
Well! It’s time to find out! Using the simple to follow test below we can easily calculate where you are at in this ShareSpectrum and you can fall in line accordingly!!
So, without further ado…

Calculating Your Score
So.. go ahead and add up your numbers, and use the key below to determine where you fall in the spectrum and what it means.
| Score | Your Label | What it Means |
| < -10 | ShareStalker | Oh geez.. you are THAT guy. You really need to watch your step before people start taking out restraining orders. It’s okay to like these people and all, but FYI the shrine in your closet is taking it a little too far! |
| -10 to 10 | Just another SharePoint Junkie | You can rest easy. You are neither a stalker or an ego maniac that can’t get his/her fat head through the door. You are the perfect mix of technical and social. You know how to have fun without taking yourself too seriously. |
| 10 to 20 | SharePoint Rock Star!!! | Woah! Step aside… Rock Star coming through! You are the proverbial cream that has floated to the top. You are a beacon and you help others without thinking too highly of yourself. You go the extra mile when possible and we salute you! |
| >20 | SharePoint Egomaniac | So… not only have your drank the SharePoint Kool-aid but you’re sippin your own special sauce. Wouldn’t hurt to take a quick look in the mirror and think about those who helped you out along the way. Maybe try giving back and supporting those less god-like than you? |
Conclusion
So, yeah.. this blog was all in fun, there’s no scientific results, your score may vary… blah.. blah.. blah… What’s my point? Well… aside from the enjoyment of being able to write something without having to think too much about it and hopefully making someone smile along the way.. if you REALLY wanted to pull a nugget of wisdom out of it, think about what kind of person that would score very high on this test… then take measures to ensure you aren’t that guy. 
There… that should do it.. see.. there’s value in my idiocy if you look really… really… really.. deep.
On the bright side, I PROMISE my next blog post will be about something technical and will actually answer a question or two. Until then, post your score in the comments below if you dare. (I scored a 10).
