Age ain’t nothin’ but a number, right? The year you were born might determine your social security benefits and ability to buy … cold medicine, but that doesn’t mean that’s how old you really are! Maybe your family has always said “oh, they just have an old soul” or maybe you have children telling you to “settle down.” Either way, this quiz is the right way to answer the question once and for all. Are you ready to discover your true mental age?

You are practically a fountain of youth, and you know it! Your mental age is 21, the year of the par-tay! You love to dance, unwind, and enjoy life, and you know that life doesn’t last forever. You aren’t so naive to expect everything to be fun and games, but you do know that there’s nothing like the present for a good time. Feel free to brag about this age to your friends; they’ll either be jealous of your free-spirit or ready to celebrate with you!
32 and True

Your inner child is actually an inner adult. You have a sense of maturity within you, and you are an island of safety for the people around you. Don’t worry though; you are far from a fuddy-duddy. Reliability and authenticity are your backbones, but you’re not too old to have a good time. You know how to let your hair loose with the rest of them; you just also make sure everyone gets home safe at the end of the party too.
Dignified at 55

Mentally, you are at the age where the candles cost more than the cake, and that’s just fine with you. You have a lot of experience, and you know what you like. While you are still open to new experiences, you have already been around the block enough to pretty quickly decide if you’ll like something new. Trust your instincts, and enjoy the feeling that you do know more than the people around you. And uh, don’t forget to sit back and watch while other people “learn from new experiences.” Everyone else has a lot of catching up to do!
A Green 14

Your inner child is stuck in a teenage dream. Mentally, you are a teenager, not yet tried and true. You love breaking the rules and kicking back with your friends, and more than anything, you hate being told what to do. Having a mental age of 14 doesn’t mean you are immature. On the contrary, you are simply more in tune with what life is actually about: enjoying your time with the people you care about.
