How badly do you have Chapinitis? Give yourself one point for each statement that applied.

15-20 Wow! You're fully infected and probably incurable! You lead a life of happiness because of your disease, but you're probably broke. Oh well.

12-15 You're also quite infected with the disease, however you have more money to spend for other artists. Maybe you're also a huge fan of a diva or two.

6-11 You've got the beginning stages of this disease. Nurture it well and one day you'll break out with full Chapintitis.

0-5 Sadly, you do not have this disease. You may lead a fully normal, productive life, but you lose a lot of fun and good music. Like when you're all alone in the car blaring your music, what do you pop in the CD player? Britney Spears?!?! What is wrong with you??
