Take the test, post the result and/or how far off it is (+/-) from your chronological age.

Mine is 45, four years less than actual.

Your mental age is 38

Not bad! -16 years, I'd hoped for more.

Ha 57! I'm six years to the good! If I'd just thought that pensions were crap and the driver wasn't a wanker I'd probably only be 52

Bastards!

And you really don't 'get' the fact that the shit-posting is mostly you?

A-mazing. But not surprising anymore.

45...22 years less than actual.

Some (most?) questions seemed like they needed a "none of the above" choice. For instance, with this one...
You think a pension plan is ...

Select from...
not what you thought it would be
important
something worth considering
something for later

...my answer would have been "something I wish I had". (I wound up choosing "important" through a process of elimination.) And I don't have a television, so I don't know what's the "best thing on television"--but I sure don't think that there's nothing good on TV; I just don't know what it is. (Maybe someday after I retire and have more free time I'll buy a TV again and try to catch up.)

34. ten years off the real me, I'm quite pleased with that.

And in this instance Rubato is right, people don't HAVE to snipe at every single comment he makes. It's a bit tiresome.

This instance? One out of ten posts in a single visit that isn't loaded with vile spew gets a little hard to track Especially when you consider the tear that the rubester has been on.

34 -- three years more than I think of myself, but >21 shy of the actual clock.

Some people have a harder time finding patterns in data than others. Maybe you should try counting the nasty posts and those which appear w/o provocation in a thread? It would improve the quality of your opinions.
