How diversified is your brickfolio ?

First of all, sorry for my awful english. And for my maths too, because I'm so bad with it ! :P Well... I was wondering... Because when I begun in investing (few months ago), and wasn't sure to make wise choices for the investment, I thought the best way to avoid disappointement and to not lose money was to diversify my brickfolio. But I realize I may doing wrong because it is certainly too much diversified (though I have an other reason: I wouldn't mind if everything fails, because I would have tons of unique sets, few doubles, so as a builder I wouldn't be sad :) ). I have 125 different sets but only 203 boxes. It means I have a lot a single sets (1x haunted house, 1x R2D2...) and sometimes double (2x queen anne's revenge, 2x crawler...). It means that my brickfolio is 62% diversified ( 125 different sets x 100 / 203 boxes = 62% ) It also means that if I had 100 sets, 38 of these would be doubles. (100% would mean no double set) I think the more you have boxes, the more it reveals your choices (not really accurate if you have just 10 boxes). So, how diversified is your brickfolio ? some examples: * if you have 15 GE and 10 SSD (and no other set), it means you have 2 kinds of sets and 25 boxes (and 23 of those are doubles). So your brickfolio is 8% diversified. It means you highly invest in few different sets. on the other side * if you have 1 GE, 1 SSD, 2 DS, 2 PS (and no other set), you have 4 kinds of sets and 6 boxes , so your brickfolio is about 67% diversified. It means you invest in many different sets. Please note that I'm very bad with maths so I can be wrong... :P
