I am 31. It guessed 29.<p>"I have the motor skills and catlike reflexes of a man in his 20s" is my new pickup line.

It would be really interesting to view some statistics as to how accurate the test is across participants. It guessed I was 29 when I am 34, which seems relatively close -- but how do I compare to others in terms of error?

It guessed I was 10. I'm old enough to have received a BS and have had a job for quite a few years. I'm not sure why it would think that.

Did this a few days ago. Im 40 and it had me as 30.<p>Fantastic bit of software. Cant recommend it enough...... :)

It guessed 8 years too young for me. Looking at that result and the ones below, it doesn't seem like it's doing a whole lot better than randomly picking an age in the 30 +/- 5 range.<p>I'd like to see how it does with folks further out on the age spectrum - less than 20 or greater than 50.

I think it just takes the mean age of hackernews readers and spits that out plus or minus a few years.

This was on HN a few days ago and it worked well for me so I asked my audiance on youtube and it didn't stack up very well. See the results in the comments <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K6bSVKao5I" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K6bSVKao5I</a>

I am 46 and it guessed 34, I figured it would err wildly in the other direction because I have a crappy mouse here at work and could have done much better with my usual mouse.

I am 31. It guessed 31. For a moment I was sitting there thinking "did browser security just break completely and they somehow scraped into a social media profile of mine?"

I'm 28 and it guessed 29. My girlfriend is 21 and got 31, looks like the approximations all feel like they're very close to 30.

Don't know if it's a good thing or not, but the experiment guessed I was 12 years younger than my actual age.

I am 24 and it guessed 31. Not so close for me.

I am 29 and it guessed 30 -- not half bad.
