Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a quiz that determines the age participants act compared to their actual age. Participants share their results, express opinions on the quiz's accuracy, and discuss the implications of acting older or younger than their chronological age. The conversation includes personal anecdotes and reflections on maturity, age perception, and the nature of the quiz itself.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants report acting older than their actual age, with one stating they are 19 but act 21.
  • Others express that they act younger than their age, such as one participant who is 32 but acts 34.
  • A few participants note discrepancies in the quiz results, with one mentioning they are 17 but the quiz suggested they act 14.
  • Some participants question the validity of the quiz, suggesting that it does not accurately reflect their personalities or behaviors.
  • Several participants share humorous or exaggerated responses, such as claiming to be "15 billion" or expressing frustration at being labeled older than they are.
  • There are comments about the nature of the quiz questions, with some feeling that certain options did not apply to them, impacting their results.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the accuracy of the quiz or the typical age they act. There are multiple competing views regarding whether individuals generally act older or younger than their actual ages, and the discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention that they had difficulty answering certain questions, indicating that the quiz may not have accounted for all experiences or perspectives. This suggests limitations in how the quiz categorizes age-related behavior.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in self-reflection on age perception, those curious about personality quizzes, or participants in online communities discussing age-related topics may find this discussion engaging.

This might be the last quiz I'm posting here!:-p

I act 23, and I'm 23.:cool: (someone was 20 and act 7:biggrin: . )

I'm sure we'd have a bunch of kiddies around here!:-p
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Questionably odd, I act 23 and I'm 15.

Then again, I HAVE been masquerading as a 23 year old psychologist when I wanted to.

I'm only a 15 year old Psychologist. ;_;
 
Heh... perhaps it says to everyone that s/he is 23! :rolleyes: (No, I was kidding)
 
When I was 16, I started to act as if I were an adult. I have been acting that way ever since.

I thought that was Twain, but I can't find it just now. Does someone know the origin?
 
***You Are 29 Years Old***

Close, I`m actually 27.


Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
 
Wow that's interesting. In another site all people act younger than their ages!:bugeye: Anyway, this quiz isn't supposed to tell you how old you are. Personally I know lots of old kiddies. I mean they act like kiddies while they're over 30.:-p
 
I'm 32, but actually 34.
 
I couldn't answer some of the questions one way or tother.

That's because you act like you're fifty-something.:smile:

No, but I think at 19 I probably acted 21 and sometime over the next few years stopped growing up.

First time I tried it and got a 28. Tried it a second time, this time trying to make it as high as I can, and ended up getting 40 :-p .

I'm old. Bah. Spoiled kids.
 
  • #17
Crazy test, it changed my age to 19 when I choose candy, and to 25 if I'd be a conservative.:-p
 
  • #18
Im 20 and it says I am 19 so pretty accurate for me.
 
  • #19
let's see... I'm really 25 & i act 17

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

sounds right... i really need to get real job :frown:
 
  • #20
18 and I act like either a 4 or 70 year old.
 
  • #21
I could tell this was not going to be good when "Spongebob Squarepants" was an answer for the first question! I almost jizzed myself when I found out they were doing a Spongebob film, and actually did **** myself when I saw it at the cinema.

Anyway, it turns out I'm 21 but act 17, although I put "being a video game tester" in place of "being a digger tester", I thought they were on the same kind of schoolboy-dreams level. :smile:

"An acquaintance tells you a very juicy secret about your best friend? Can you keep the secret?"What the hell? Where's the "I wouldn't tell anyone" choice?I'm 29??

I'm actually 16 though :(
maybe it's because I love Tiramisu

The link won't work...I don't think it's loading completely...

Ah, it finally worked...I'm 17 but it listed me as 14. I'm usually pegged as someone older...:smile:

But, then again, this one part does describe me although I don't think it has to do with my age.:-p "You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world."

i'm 18 and i act 11.

Few of the questions apply to me, so I answered some as the closest (even though very far off).

You Are 22 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

edit: When I answered only what applied (meaning I left some blank), I got 13. My actual age is 17.

What Age Do You Act?

http://www.blogthings.com/whatagequiz/

Some of the answers I had to say something wrong, but sort of close. I find it pretty accrurate on how I act...
 
  • #28
I could not really answer a few of the questions, I just did not like the choices, so I did not finish the quiz, sorry!
 
  • #29
19, but act 16! No surprise to me really.
 
  • #30
Act like 26. Almost correct.
