You are a card-carrying Apple Hater! You troll online forums attacking the company, because you’re convinced that being contrarian proves your superior intelligence, or because a company like Samsung pays you to do so. Anyone can like Apple. You’ve chosen, a wee bit ironically, to think different.
3 – 10 points
You’re not a Luddite, you just reject technological advancement. Oh, wait.
11 – 19 points
You are not really an Apple fan. That’s cool with me.
20 – 25 points
You are Apple-curious.
26 – 36 points
You are an Apple Fanboy or a Fangirl! This brand has left a positive impression on you. Don’t think they didn’t try. You can like what a company makes, but you don’t necessarily have to stake your identity in it. It’s okay to appreciate toys and tools for adults and distinguish which ones work best.
38 – 43 points
You’re a Serious Fan! You not only love your devices, you respect the company. You probably get annoyed at Apple Haters. You may have known the weight of a white lanyard. You almost got that Apple logo tattoo that one drunk time. You definitely know someone who did.

You’re a Die-hard! A Zealot! You may have chosen this, or it may have chosen you, but you’re hardcore to the core. You bleed Apple Juice. You didn’t fall far from the tree, because you’re still hanging onto the tree with all four limbs plus clenched jaw! Congratulations! I think.
