Ruminator

I am a father, a grandfather, a husband, and an engineer. I am also a follower of Jesus, a motorcycle rider, an occasional musician, a photographer, and a writer of journals and weblog essays. I've been a pump jockey, an auto-service technician, a musician, a worship-team leader, a teacher of young civil engineers, a photographer, and an employee of the U.S. Federal government. Now I work as a consultant in western Nevada. I once rode my BMW motorcycle from Lubbock, Texas, to Clemson University for a technical meeting. That was a trip.

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
