0–10 points: Not-so-Steve
It’s very possible that you have entirely missed this earth-shaking revolution. Have you heard of Steve Jobs before now? Do you even know what Apple is? Time to get your HEAD OUT FROM UNDER THAT ROCK, grandma! This is the 21st Century, and it’s time to get Jobs-ified.
11–30: Sort-of-Steve
Congratulations. You have successfully managed to stay hip, hop and happening while retaining a semblance of normality and non-obsession with the man, the legend, the MARVEL… Woah, sorry. We got carried away there.
31–57: YOU-SO-STEVE!
You look like him, you sound like him and you basically own everything he has ever made. You are a fully fledged disciple of Jobs and are even evangelising others to the cause – congratulations! Oh wait. Hang on. Something has gone horribly wrong here. I think we might need help…
