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.

Which isn't surprising for a Capricorn. We're born old.

49 I'm 31.

But that's not reflected in my life choices in which I'm more 15.

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.
