There are more than 300,000,000 Facebook users.

That means more than a quarter of a billion people are telling us what they had for breakfast.

Lest I be branded as a cynic (again), let me say that even though I’m decidedly out of their key demographic, I like Facebook.

I got involved at the urging of my family so we could play Scrabulous (a version of Scrabble that one lawsuit later is now called Lexulous). I’ve learned to enjoy finding out the things my friends, family and acquaintances find silly, meaningful, enjoyable or challenging. I don’t post often and rarely comment, but I do like seeing what folks are up to.

It’s interesting to me to discover how different people with different personalities use Facebook. I’m also surprised at the number of types of “What Kind of (insert noun here) are you?” quizzes out there.

With that in mind, I have come up with the … (drum roll, cue the chase lights, fire pyro) …

“What Kind of a Facebook User Are You?” quiz.

Score one point for every 1) answer, two for every 2) answers, three for … well, you get the idea.

A. I make an entry into Facebook:

1) Never. I have no life.
2) Once in a while.
3) When I wish something interesting would happen.
4) When something interesting happens.
5) Three times a day.

B. If asked, would take the quiz (choose the one you would complete first):

1) What Disney cartoon character are you?
2) Which Sci-Fi movie villain are you?
3) What kind of pasta are you?
4) Which single celled protozoa are you?
5) Which prime number are you?

C. Give yourself five points for each Yes answer.

1) I Tweet about what I wrote on Facebook.
2) I check Facebook on my mobile phone more than twice a day.
3) Your Facebook picture of you is not you.
4) The image of jelly on my child’s face must be shared with the world.

D. When something exciting happens to you, like you spill coffee on your pants at work you immediately…

1) Grab a towel and clean it up, cursing under your breath.
2) Update your status on Facebook and seek sympathy responses.
3) Post to Facebook that you’re experiencing a 30-minute time delay so you can change clothes due to a caffeine malfunction.
4) Go to YouTube and find a fitting yet pithy song to epitomize the moment and embed the link on your Facebook wall.
5) Post to Tweetdeck (thereby hitting your Twitter and Facebook pages simultaneously) that the coffee stain on your pants looks like the Titanic.

E. When a friend makes a post, do you

1) Never comment.
2) Occasionally add a thumbs up.
3) Comment every so often.
4) Comment a lot of the time.
5) Comment on someone’s comment about your comment. And maybe keep the string running to make sure you have the last word.

How to grade the quiz:

If your score is:

(0 -9 points) You’re not much of a joiner. You may watch “Eureka” on the SyFy channel. You think your life is boring, and you may be right. You’re an observer rather than a participant.

(10 – 14 points) You like Facebook but don’t have the time or inclination to get involved. Your profile is pretty sketchy. You may never have posted a photo.

(15 – 19 points) You’re an average Facebook user. Nothing wrong with that. Somebody’s got to be average, after all, or it wouldn’t exist.

(20 – 24 points) You’re a little obsessed. You think people are interested in the little things you do every day. But it’s manageable.

(25 – 40 points) Seek professional help.
