(HLN) -- Facebook is worth around $104 billion -- give or take a few billion -- based on its reported IPO price range.

But since no company is worth anything without its customers, let's ask a different question: What are you worth to Facebook? As in, a number. A price. Reducing yourself to a walking pile of bills and loose change, what do you bring to Mark Zuckerberg's table?

That's what the online privacy firm Abine wants to know, and they've rolled out a way for you to find out. Their Val-You Quiz is a free, seven-question tool designed to make users aware of how their willingness to part with their privacy is key to Facebook's fortunes. The more you engage with the site -- the more data is collected -- the more you are then worth to them.

It also apparently helps if you live in North America and earn a healthy paycheck.

The quiz hits on such factors as in which region of the world you live, how much you make, how often you post pics or "Like" something and whether you play (and if you pay for) any games on the site. So if you're a fake city-building American neurologist who thinks every status update is worth an "LOL!!", Mr. Zuckerberg would like to shake your hand.

Or poke you.

Whichever.

Mashable reports that several thousand people have taken the quiz so far and their average worth is $50 each -- or roughly one and two-thirds of a share of Facebook stock.

The HLNtv.com gang took the quiz and fell right in line with those other results. Our group's average value to Facebook is $51 each -- with a high of $61 and a low of $37. Looks like someone isn't posting enough photos.

Have you taken the quiz yet? Check it out then let us know how you did!
