The 5 areas

Along with your overall age, your result shows an age for each of 5 areas. Each area’s age is based mainly on that area’s 6 answers, with a little of all 30 answers blended in.

Daily Life
Days off, tidying up, meals and sluggish days. The rhythm of your everyday life.
Money
Spending your allowance or paycheck, shopping and splitting the bill. How you handle money.
People
Friends, neighbors and people you’ve just met. How you find the right distance with others.
Tight Spots
A stopped train, something left behind, a slip-up. How you act when things go wrong.
Fun
New games, outings, events and days off. How you play and how curious you are.

How your age is decided

Your answers are turned into points, then mapped onto an age with a curve. Your stage depends on your overall age alone, not on your real age.
