Normally I don't rate these sort of quizzes much but on this my mental age appears to match that of my body! That's reassuring...kind of...
My Mental Age Test
Anyone else match up? Or wildly different?

Mentally, it turns out that I am roughly half as old again as my chronological age. Not quite sure how to take that, as I can see both pros and cons to the situation.
Wait, that might be why I got the result I did...

12 years older than my real age. In some ways it is an underestimate, and in some ways an overestimate. I have mellowed greatly about pop music that doesn't fit my ideal. At the same time, the "a baseball hat looks best forward or backward" didn't represent my true old man feelings about baseball hats. (If you are over the age of 18, don't wear one unless you are out in the woods or actually, you know, playing baseball.)

13 years younger. I knew sometimes when I was answering young, avoiding answers like "make sure you pee before leaving the restaurant".
A quiz that dated our slang expressions. On the peeing question, went out for supper and one of the party got up and said "have to spend a penny". No-one under 50 seemed to know what that meant. Inflation?

I can't believe you once went to restaurants that had coin operated toilets.
(But then I remember a long ago CA state election where the outlawing of pay toilets played a prominent role. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) )

But if you answer yes to that question it could mean EITHER that you are old enough to have continence problems OR that you are very young and your parents don't want you wetting your pants in ten minutes' time.
Same with the keys question. If you always put them down in the same place you could be in the early stages of Alzheimer's... or you could just be a control freak who likes to know where everything is.

It says I'm 40, 5 1/2 years older than my current age.
What's worrying about that is when I first saw that I thought it was 7 years older than my age (I was thinking I'm still 33) - it was a bit of a shock when I realised it was only 5 1/2.

My mind is 6 years older than it's supposed to be.
Last time I did something like this for my body, it was 4 years younger than it was supposed to be. So there's a full decade gap there.
This is not news. Although with a severe lack of gym time lately, the body is probably catching up to the mind instead of the other way around...

I was rather pleased to come out at 42 being as how I am actually 59.
This may partly be down to my having to select an answer at random to some of the questions. E.g. the Britney Spears question where the correct answer would be "I don't know anything about this band" ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)
And if I were planning a house party, my principal concern would be that it be in somebody else's house. Nothing else matters.
