How to identify flat (even) distributions?

Hi

If I have 1000 people and their opinion ratings for, say, 100 songs
each (on a scale 1-10) How do I test for those users that have rated
10 1s, 10 2s, 10 3s etc i.e. a flat distribution?
I know I can use standard deviation to spot those that tend to give
the same rating, or polar extremes, but there's nothing uniquely
identifiable about the SD for these 'flat' users.

I'm writing a program in C to find these; I know I could brute-force
count the frequencies to find them, but hoped there might be a
statistical measure of this.

Thanks

Steve
