How Old Is Your Brain
 

Here's a test to see if your brain is older or younger than your body.

'pparently, my brain is 10years younger than the rest of me.

My brain age is 65. I guess I really am an old fart.

My brain age is 7 years older than I am.

But I have just been down the pub with Dad for a boozy Father's Day lunch.

And I completely fucked up the anagrams by not having the letters in exactly the right place in the box. It was showing as incorrect and I couldn't for the life of me work out what else it could be. There was nothing else it could be, it was just not properly aligned.

Stooopid young whippersnapper game.

well i bought four liters of wine last night (even if i didnt finish ALL of it) so we'll see how old my hung-over brain is?

...34. Man. Alcohol sure is a bitch ain't she.
edit: to be fair i blame my fuckin' apple magic mouse at least a bit, it's not designed for that kinda quick action. i swear i clicked twice as many stars as i got credit for. theres a reason i always switch to a corded proper mouse for like video games.

39. WooHoo!

My Brain Age is ten years younger than my actual age.

:cheerldr:

Fuck the yellow stars.

I forgot to add my brain is 21 years younger than my body... and yes, fuck the yellow stars.

My brain age is 31. Actual age is 51. Hmm.

And yes, fuck the yellow stars.

I scored very well, but I don't understand the criteria. Is this from a "legit" source?

I question almost every type of "brain measurement" or the accompanying catch-all descriptors like "age" of your brain. Of course I couldn't be arsed to actually read the page, but I can think of half a dozen meaning for brain "age" and every measure would be different.

What it all boils down to, for me, is that people can be vastly different. Different learning styles, different thinking styles, certainly very different ways of expressing meaning, or deriving meaning from context. We're all so different. How can that be, you ask--given our common DNA and ties of culture, education and language? Well I think the human being is an "adaptability machine" --what we do is improvise, specialize, and make up new things. As many new things as there are people. How can you measure people against each other?

As long as you only take it for what it is - a stupid fun little quiz test competition thing - youre fine. You're overthinking it, a bit, I think, flint: taking a stupid internet quiz even the littlest bit seriously.

Mine was 3yrs older than my actual age. The stars killed me, mostly cause I'm not using a mouse, so it was a bit tough on a touch pad. Everything else was pretty close.

@Ibram: Why bother making it if it has no purpose? I didn't see any ads--what is their ulterior motive? Someone had to sit down and create that page. The reason? At face value it is the reason that is stated. Other options I can think of are... I can't think of any.

Maybe it's a study to test whether people will take purposeless quizzes? That's even more over-thought.



Things must have a purpose.

Are you kidding me?
This is the internet, bucko.
There are dozens of sites with HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS of quizzes, mostly for lame 13-year-olds to post on their livejournals. True, the lack of advertising is confusing, but I honestly need no better explanation of internet behavior than, well, they just fuckin' wanted to.

This is the creators business website; http://leeterwal.com/

He says on a Flash Developer resource site, "I am getting really into Brain Games and Brain Training." So I guess this was a Flash practice exercise, in a subject he's been studying.

Of course all these quizzes on the net are strictly for fun.

@Flint, go pound this. :p:

Yay! Sober, my brain is 10 years younger than my body.
But then I also had the advantage of playing it again. I did not sit there all furrowed-brow over the anagrams, as I knew that the letters have to show blue to count. I am rubbish at anagrams, but even I can manage four letter words as long as I get the rules.

Also I did not have the busiest photo in the world as my first spot-the-difference.
(Fourth of July I think - so much going on!)

Oh and did I mention I was sober ;)

Brain age of 27. Not too bad, but then I'm a big fan of brain puzzles and stuff like Kakuro.

The anagram one messed me up a bit though. If you didn't move the letters into JUST the right spot, it wouldn't count it. Lost some time trying to get it to recognize my entry.

I liked the yellow stars. track ball, baby, 29 clicked.

eta: got stuck on anagrams. COIN.... what was it? I STILL cant get that.

icon?

d'oh!

Yep, those yellow stars were annoying. But my 45-year-old self somehow managed to score 30...after three drinks at happy hour. :beer:

34 and I'm 45

I got stuck on the spot the differences between the pictures when the inauguration picture came up. I stared at that picture for a good 40 seconds and never found the difference. I don't believe there was one, since they didn't show me the answer. I got something like a 70 for a brain age on that part of the test.

I had a total brain fart on the anagrams. Bizarre, given I am usually quite good at wordy stuff.

My brain is 26. I am 21 years older than that.

I freaking rock.

This is your brain, 47. This is your brain on trackball 26. ;)

The star clicking was actually my worst one.

And I agree with it being hard to get the stupid anagram letters in the right spot...

So probably, if you consider outliers and stuff, my brain is actually 12.

it gets younger with practice

You're right!

:lol:

Chronologically, my brain is the same age as me (42), but my mind is still a teenager...emotionally speaking. I guess that's why I like looking at the pretty teenage and Gen X young women, and wishing I were younger and able-bodied.

Intellectually, I'm not sure. All I know is that I know what I know, and I don't know what I don't know, ya know.

Religion....is a smile on a dog

What does that have to with this particular conversation?

Absolutely nothing. Your instincts are right.
