Have you ever taken a life expectancy test before?

Asked by rockfan (14632points) June 22nd, 2013

I just took one for the first time and it ended up being 99 years. Seems way too high in my opinion. What is yours?

87. I think that is hopeful.

86 (although I think at maybe 82 I’m going to feel pretty much done with everything…)

I have a long time ago. Didn’t take this one – will take it but don’t have time now.

The thing is, if you live till 99 and are in diapers and not lucid, need care and can’t walk, etc., what good is it?

I don’t want to take it lol. My grandma is almost 97 and still has good memory, walks, and everything. She does have poor vision though lol

I got 90 years.
That’s okay I guess, I don’t plan on living long and stuff though.

Did the whole thing, refuse to give my email address so I didn’t get the result.

It was fun to answer the questions (feeling so holier-than-thou) until they asked for my email address and mentioned that they would be sending me health-related (read; buy our products) from time to time. So I deleted the whole thing. My four grandparents lived until at least their late eighties and my mother died two years ago well over 96.

OneBadApple's avatar

Yeah, I actually did one of these maybe 10 years ago to get my ‘86’

As soon as this one asked for my email address, I thought “Well here is one more tiny aggravation which shaved off perhaps 30 seconds of my life” and got the hell out of there..

92

(Thank goodness I have an extra address I use for things like this!)

jca's avatar

I’m going to do it later and either give my work email address or one of the ones I have but don’t use. All you have to do then is “unsubscribe” and take care of it that way.

gailcalled's avatar

Too much work since given the questions and my answers, I can take a pretty good guess.

It smells a little off when they want personal information like that. They want money in some form. So I don’t trust the survey’s motives. 99 years? that tells ya something or you lied your ass off, lol.

downtide's avatar

I agree with @woodcutter – if they want personal details they’re selling something, and if they’re selling something, the results of the “test” are almost certainly mostly arbitrary.

lemmy's avatar

I got 81, which was shocking.

jca's avatar

@lemmy: Shocking because you think it’s too young or too old?

lemmy's avatar

@jca oh old for sure

gailcalled's avatar

^^^ Revisit that attitude when you turn 80.

lemmy's avatar

@gailcalled a test told me I’m making it that far so I’m just super stoked. Already planning my birthday party.

genjgal's avatar

I took one in health class a few years back. I think I got late 70’s.

genjgal's avatar

I got 90 years on this one.
