After awhile, you could spot the "stodgy" answers--you could tell which ones were set up to be "geezer" answers.

I agree. Easy to manipulate your answer to "prove" what age you want to be.

My mental age seems to correspondingly decrease as my biological age increases.
My wit, wisdom, and intellect seems to have taken a jolt with my advancing age.
There are now days in my 67th year that I seem to need multiple choice for all basic questions.
I suppose a lot of seniors have moments and reflections like this.
At age 67 I know feel as though my mental age in now sometimes around 11.

Does it rotate the questions?

Somebody mentioned a question regarding ice cream & I don't think I answered that one. I'm 49 & I got 33.

The 2 questions I got "hung up on" were the Miley Cyrus one (there should have been a "whatever" option) & the dining out one. Probably because I've only eaten out once in the last year & a half.

I answered "asking about the tip" because thats actually what happened. I took my 13 yr old son to Red Robin with a gift card we got for Christmas. They have those order/pay/play tabletop thingys & I screwed it up so I had to ask.

Maybe I scored younger because they asked alot of "pop-culture" type of questions & I have 3 teenagers? They tend to keep me in the mix of all that stuff. I do use Twitter alot for public safety/road condition issues but I wouldn't be caught dead on Instagram.

I just took the test. I am 63 years old. The test says my mental age is 36! I can live with that.

That test was fun.
