About This Quiz

They say that age is nothing more than a number, but have you ever wondered why? For some of us, age-appropriate behavior comes easily. For the rest of us, our personalities throw off a level of maturity that might not match up with the year we were born. After you tell us all about the traits that make you who you are, we'll let you know your true psychological age. 

If you have a lot of intelligent and broody qualities, you might come off as a few years older than you really are. Conversely, being an extroverted center of attention can make you appear younger than other people who are the same age. Your personality is formed from dozens of traits, but your psychological age is the number that really defines you. 

Picking up on the work of Carl Jung and the Myers-Briggs duo, our personality test can tell you more about yourself than you might want to know, but we are going to focus on your level of adult behavior. Your level of maturity while answering will tell us if your mind is younger than your youngest niece or if you are older than your grandma. Which one will it be?
