1. Must be a British thing.

Three of my questions referenced British slang.

-10 years for me. A couple of the questions I answered the same as I would have when I was 20, but I'm sure it made me seem old.

pretty good actually. Though I have to stop pretending my body is 41 and treat it like it's 63.

I wasn't that young for that long, iykwim, so being in my forties, a little slower, smarter, more experienced sounds about right. Being as old as I AM, now, that's absurd.

This means... by the time you're just 56 you will have the mind of an 84 year old.

But it's hardly a scientific test.

I was honestly expecting a number on either end of an extreme

Like really young or really really old

somehow I think my score could have changed dramatically if I had known what any of those types of ice creams were... I suspect an "ice lolly" is what Americans call a popsicle, but I have no idea about the other two.

I felt too many questions were not an accurate guage of one's mental age. Some questions on issues I don't have much interest in I could clearly tell how each answer choice would affect the outcome. So then, I still feel mentally 28 even if I don't care a whit about Ipads, Iphones etc, Britney Spears etc.

-28 for me. My favorite question? #19. An iPad is... blahblah something to prevent an embarrassing accident.

Sorry, I'm not in mature mode today.

but all the gadget questions were about apple (iPhone/iPad). I love gadgets but I hate apple. I'm android man all the way. If they had been generic or android specific I would have scored far more immature.
