WTF? indies sure are all but "eclectic." or are they? who are they these days anyway? it doesn´t even matter. ...now, back to the results to this thingies found on this page of one Mr.Anthony Liekens.
Take your top 20 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 5 similar artists. The resulting number of unique artists is your eclectic score. If the score is small (extreme = 5) your musical preferences are very limited, and if it is large (larger than 80, extreme = 100), then you have an eclectic musical preference. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/eclectic.php
