hmm... Let's see what I do/don't do, then YOU can decide!
I go to church on Sundays, except when I'm sick or my son is sick. OR if we are out of town, we try to attend the local ward there.
I am a Primary Teacher, as is my husband. And we do our best to continue to stay involved in all church and scouting activities.
I am a worthy, current, temple-reccomend holder, but I have not been to the temple since we moved from CA to UT. Which was almost 9 months ago. The husband and I are having a difficult time here, as many fellow Mormons we have met are very ignorant and closed-minded. I guess we are just used to the diversity in CA.
I do have the tendency to let some swear words out, but far from what I used to when I was first babtized 10+ years ago. I'm still working on my "potty mouth" and my quick temper.
I occasionally read the scriptures, not as much as I should. BUT I pray daily and often.
I am NOT a "jack mormon", as I do not smoke, drink, do drugs, etc... I practice the words of wisdom to the best of my ability and knowledge.
I am pro-life, and against gay marriages. But I do not hate anyone, regardless of their decisions.
I was married to my husband almost 5 years ago in the Oakland Temple... we have struggles, but we continue to love and support one another and are new at the parenting gig. We have an almost 6-month old baby boy.
I continue to try my best to be a good example to my friends and family, and I love unconditionally, even those who no longer have or are struggling with their testimonies and faith.
Although I have been inactive before, I now have a strong testimony, and I will continue to strive to be Christ-like, and to defend the religious rights or lack thereof of anyone. I will not bash another person or another belief if they respect me and mine. But so help me Lord, if someone trash talks what is near and dear, and sacred to me.

Well I'm not a prophet, and it would seem that Mormon was a much better leader than I am. I do hope to one day thank him for compiling the plates. I always imagined Mormon to be tall and very very strong. I don't think I'd make a good Mormon.
Just kidding by the way I understood the question.
I can honestly say I strive to be a good Latter-day Saint. I falter often but I get up and try again.

If you are comparing me to the prophet Mormon who took command of an army at a very young age and fought a losing battle to the end for the love of his countrymen.
And abridged tons of records into a prolific (modern) book loved by millions.
And saw angels -- was a prophet of God
And left his son to be the last righteous one of his people -- to be alone until he died.
THEN I guess I am not very Mormon
I lead a comfortable life have safe kids and the only fighting I do is fight traffic (I even get testy when my wife expects me to do chores when I get home from work).
But if you mean that I am a member in good standing -- temple recommend holding -- have three callings -- my kids go to seminary -- I served a mission -- got married in the temple -- enjoy watching 10 hours of conference twice a year -- Mormon
Then I'd say I'm a 8.5 out 10 Mormon

Hehe... levels of being Mormon?
Is that like some numerical score that the bishop gives you after a worthiness interview?
Oh I'm so sorry, you missed worthiness by 1/2 a point!. So sorry.
Hehe... I don't know though. Spiritually I think I'm pretty Mormon, culturally though.... I hate Utah (especially the weather), I don't want any more than 2 kids (in this life) and I'm not a Republican, and I will UTTERLY CRY if Romney becomes president.

Oh goody! It's a let's see who's the most worthy Mormon contest! It is just like being in an actual LDS ward meeting! DId you know the "keeping up with the Jone's holiness" attitude is one of the problems with Mormonism? You compare your worthiness to others, forgetting that compared to the Holy God you are sinful and not worthy of His love?
Romans 3:23- For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
Lamentations 3:22- It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

I was married in the Salt Lake Temple...
I'm a High Priest...
And I am very active when my work allows it (I am on call a lot)...

So Mormon that I have the anti-Mormons picket outside my house every day of the week. They hold up signs like "Jesus, Saten Brother, You Fool!"
