0-3: You're spending way too much time following the Baldwins and the Wayans. Time to shift your focus to more home-grown talent.

4-7: You probably already have Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums on DVD. Nice going.

8-10: You're either part of the family, went to St. Marks or your name is Ben Stiller.
