Memories of the 28th Century

I just posted the piece about personality and mental illness screeners, but within the last few days I have taken a few tests that were supposed to tell how old I really am. Some of those are for amusement, while others take themselves very seriously.

A few days ago there was an ad somewhere asking if they could guess my age using five questions. That was fine with me. The result was that I am between ten and fifteen years old. Later that day I noticed that it was the anniversary of the birth of my only remaining uncle; he is getting toward a century, and there’s a good chance that he’ll make it. So I sent a link and suggested that he find out how old he really is. I don’t know if he did. He doesn’t look a day over eighty-five.

Something else with respect to age came up, so I decided to find out how old RealAge, which is now at https://www.sharecare.com/static/realage-sharecare thinks I am. They take themselves seriously, so you will have to register before taking their questionnaire to determine your real age. They came up with forty-seven for me, and that’s close enough.

The Guardian quiz didn’t work correctly, so I don’t know what they think. But the blogthing quiz nailed me; it asserted that I am twenty-nine. The Seventeen quiz doesn’t have an answer, but it implies that I am over seventeen.

Apparently my Mental Age is thirty-four, and that is believable, unless one is considering IQ, which would make my mental age much greater.

I also wrote on the same matter a few years ago, but this post is no different. Some things never change like my age and the How-Old-Are-You quizzes. Even more than the personality things these are for amusement. The personality screeners have some potential value other than amusement, but these so not, unless you own a rejuvenation center and use a quiz to try to encourage people to try your business.

As far as rejuvenation goes, mental age, and physical condition make huge differences. There are people who probably can’t be rejuvenated, because there are too many areas of plaque in their brains. There has been some progress in breaking up the plaque, but it probably will be a temporary improvement with plaque developing again.

The biological-age test isn’t bad, but it wasn’t designed as well as some, but the yourmentalage.com test is much better, and it is rather accurate; it pegg4d me anyway. Realistically, one’s mental age is more important. The ideal would be to have one’s physical age follow one’s mental age, and that’s what rejuvenation is all about, except for those who want to be old and crotchety.

So how old are you?
