• 0-25 = What are you, the Dalai Lama or something? You must live under a rock. Run quick and buy out the entire 'N Sync merchandise section at Sam Goody, maybe then you'll get some sense knocked into your head. You're only slightly 'N Sync-corrupted.
  
• 26-50 = You are the Dalai Lama's long-lost sibling, apparently you've backpacked all over the world so at least you've heard of 'N Sync. I'll give you that...but not much else.
  
• 51-75 = You are 50% fanatical and 50% normal. The way the balance tips is up to you. (In other words, do you want to go 'Nsane? Well then...)
  
• 76-100 = You're an 'N Sync fanatic on the way to becoming an 'Ntellectual but a straight jacket should sort you out. (And no, that does *not* include J.C.) Go back, ogle 'N Sync posters at the local record store, and then come back and take this test again.
  
• 101+ = You are a full-fledged 'N Sync 'Ntellectual. Sorry, but you are beyond the help of modern medicine. Welcome to the illustrious group of 'Ntellectuals!

You are visitor number who thinks they're an 'N Sync 'Ntellectual.
