According to that test it’s 16, but that can’t be right because I feel more like 11 or 12

ragingloli's avatar

The test says 34.

cookieman's avatar

According this test, I’m 28.

jca's avatar

I did this on FB and it said 31. On most of those questions, I would not have chosen any of the choices, but I picked the second most likely option.

rojo's avatar

22.

This is a lot lower than I thought it would be.

Smitha's avatar

37

My mental age is 3 years older than my actual age. I thought it would be in single digits!

poofandmook's avatar

25.. but I was in between answers in at least one so I did what @jca did.

LuckyGuy's avatar

25! I figured it would be around 35.

livelaughlove21's avatar

25. My actual age is 24. :)

JLeslie's avatar

25. I thought I would get 35 like @LuckyGuy. I think I have been the same mental age, if we go by the questions on that quiz, since I was 5. The only difference is now I am able to be in the moment more while experiencing things, which in a way makes me feel younger and freer.

whitenoise's avatar

Oopss my mental age is 13…

Not sure that’s a good thing.

I’ll finally have some sleep – no bars where I live.
I love parties – again: no bars, here.
I think Borat is stupid.
I’d just say no thank you to the marijuana, even though there no bars, here.
as said before: I love parties, there are no bars, here.
I’d love to go to Paris, with my wife.

This is all around Facebook. It’s so irrelevant for me since most of the time I would chose none of the three options. But after choosing anyway I am mentally 28 years old.

muppetish's avatar

According to the test, I am 31. Not surprised based on the few answer options that it gave me.

Espiritus_Corvus's avatar

28. That’s about right, I suppose.
I object to the answers to Number 5. I would enjoy going to the odd fancy dress party, but I don’t require hours of preparation to get there. I would simply dress appropriately, which takes the same amount of time as usual, and have a great time. Hours of preparation are not necessary and it smacks of insecurity.

poofandmook's avatar

My issue was with the party question too. I wouldn’t be like “cool!” and take hours… I would probably take hours, groan about it the entire time, contemplate how I could legitimately cancel, then end up going and THEN I would have a great time. Frankly, I think that’s exactly the mindframe of a 25–30 year old.

Coloma's avatar

25. Good enough for me. lol

Coloma's avatar

P.S. If anyone wants to meet in Paris tonight, let’s go! Champagne and a toke? haha

janbb's avatar

16 – but then I think I fudged a few. (I would be excited to be going to Paris to see my grandsons.)

Espiritus_Corvus's avatar

Paris it IS! What a perfect cure for the doldrums! Montmartre, or Montparnasse? Which hotel? Which decade?

Coloma's avatar

@Espiritus_Corvus Lets let @janbb choose. She is the Paris Penguin. :-)

janbb's avatar

@Espiritus_Corvus Did you see “Midinight in Paris”? I keep looking for that taxi-cab.

Let’s do one month in Montparnasse and one in Montmartre. And then it will be Spring and we can be on that barge on the Seine.

Will that work for you too, @Coloma?

janbb's avatar

As for decades, pretty much any – except for the French Revolution. I think I’ll pass on that one.

Coloma's avatar

@janbb Sign me up for the grand tour yes. :-)

Espiritus_Corvus's avatar

@janbb and @Coloma We can pass on the 1870–71 Franco Prussian Siege/Communard thing as well.

Midnight is one of my favorite movies. Why not split our time between the Belle Époque with the Impressionists, writers, and other artists of the period at Salon Madame Sabatier, then, like the film, enter the les Années Folles and begin our Saturday evenings at The Stein/Toklas Salon, meet some interesting people, see where it takes us. I can watch for the carriage, you two can watch for the 1926 taxi. Shall dinner be at 1926 Le Select, then drinks and dancing at Bricktop’s, or the Dingo, or dinner at 1890 Maxim’s, then the Ballet Russe, drinks and dancing at the the Moulin Rouge?

I’d like to interview that crazy sonovabitch Soutine at the Lapin Agile. Meet Apollinaire, Picasso, Braque and the others, especially after they are arrested during the 1911 Mona Lisa theft. What a remarkable explosion of creativity all at once. The Beehive, the

The test gave me 37. My 43rd birthday is in 2½ weeks.

I have no desire to go to Paris and I hate parties. now get off my lawn

janbb's avatar

@Espiritus_Corvus You had me at Belle Epoque. Let’s add the luncheon of the boating party and the ball at the Moulin de la Galette (which I’ve eaten at) to our jaunts.

There is a tea room at Laduree on the Left Bank where one can almost recapture les temps perdu.

anniereborn's avatar

I’m 19. But yeh, a lot of those questions didn’t have any answers I would pick.

Espiritus_Corvus's avatar

@janbb and @Coloma Yes, we’ll take turns escorting ourselves to our favorites of the period. Witnesses to the most creative moment in modern art history, But I’m not going without @gailcalled, @Yetanotheruser, @Pachyderm_In_The_Room. Their input would be invaluable. So, what hotel of the Belle Époque?

Skaggfacemutt's avatar

I did this on facebook, and it came out as 19. Scary, I must be really immature.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Mine was 40, not bad for someone almost 50.

Rarebear's avatar

31 for me.

YARNLADY's avatar

Mine said 46 and when my husband went to Paris and Europe for four weeks, I stayed in a condo on the beach with my 3 (then) little grandsons.

Valerie111's avatar

Mine said 37.

Seek's avatar

Mine said 28, but I call bullshit because I always score way higher on those things.

hearkat's avatar

I got a 22 on this one… which happens to be my son’s age – coincidence?

geeky_mama's avatar

19 – and that’s about right. I can’t count the number of times I’ve said to my husband I feel about 19 ~ 21 mentally…and it’s a shock every time I look in the mirror and this old, chubby…MOM looks back at me.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

I think the choices slant you towards the younger age. Some of the choices were split between adventurous or old fart. No one wants to be the old fart. Mine was 28.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@ZEPHYRA So think of it as wise beyond your years.

Katniss's avatar

25 ~ Seems kind of high. lol

SnoopyGirl's avatar

I’m 19! I actually wouldn’t want to be 19 again, unless I am able to know what I now know about life. Basically, the test explains I’m still free spirited and that won’t ever change, no matter what my age is. I believe your age is only a number! Paris here I come!!

jeremy0207's avatar

Woah. Mental age came out to around 35. I am only 16 o_O that can’t be right. My mental age can change at times. But from knowing me! of course, my mental age changes to aproppriate times! but sometimes that wrong age comes out but only because I feel like being myself, I feel I have nothing to prove to anyone, I feel that I can act and be MYSELF and no one will judge me. So honestly I can be all ages if I wanted to, it’s just how you see yourself and how you normally carry yourself.

snowberry's avatar

My mother said that when I was two, I acted like an old lady. Considering my very rough start in life, it makes sense. I’m glad I have healed since then.

Now I may have the body of an old lady, but mentally I’m very young at heart, which is a wonderful thing.
