Funny!

Must have clicked on something wrong, because I am going to live until I am 101... I'm slightly below my ideal weight and the only 'con' is my family history is heart attacks and no-one lived beyond 80 years... ['cept me it seems]. Shame they didn't delve into the ongoing family history of psychosis. :D just kidding. :p

According to this test; I should already be dead.

I was looking at my result from earlier and was wondering about gender being a negative for me...since women live a few years longer than men on average. Then I looked at the age of parents and realized I had messed a couple of things up, since when you tick on one radio button for some of the options it automatically ticks your answer on a couple and you have to fix it manually to change the answer. So, I figured oops, well I guess I am going to die sooner than I thought.

Took the test again, and now I am going to live until 89. I had to click on other for both parents since my dad is 79, but since he is this close I figure he will make it one more year.

This test is slightly silly.
Reasons why:
*asking for ones height and weight in those strange units.
*asking about when our parents died. What if they are still alive?
*Has your weight fluctuated by more than 10 pounds several times since high school? We finished a week ago so probably not. However, if it did, how would we know with these cryptographically clear weighing systems.
*Cholesterol level - do we look like we have any possibility of measuring it?
*Driving - what if we don't drive at all?

80 seems like quite a good result though, quite much higher than the average of men here. But yeah, what's with these cryptological archaic weighing systems? We're not a passeist.

[Pensive]

Oops, can't take it. I don't know my weight and height (well this can be checked) but hey I don't drive! And I have not even reached High school to say anything about that...and one has to answer that...

[Bakiryu]

Just tweak the answers a bit!

[Haven]

Yeah, Bakiryu is right as is Taliesin, it's a bit of fun...but perhaps :lol:

The program/the quiz was about why the extemely skinny models/celebs were killing themselves and that their life expectancy was reduced... like Nicole Richie and Victoria Beckham.

[Niamh]

i got 91 years but family health e, weight and smoking could effect that! may family have generally lived into there 70's and 80's but there is a bad case of stroke, heart attacks and cancer in my family so we'll see!
my ideal weight is 130bls. I'm 154!:blush: but i had to work that out seeing as we deal with stones/ bls as opposed to just bls.

[kathycf]

If people don't drive, then they can't have gotten any speeding tickets...so just say no for those, right? If you haven't gotten to highschool yet or have just graduated than your weight can't have flucuated so that can also be answered with a "no".

As Baki says, you can "tweak" your answers...and it's just a fun quiz type thing so don't over think it. :)
