I can't help but wonder who this meme is actually aimed at. It reads like it was written by a 15 year old who thought they knew what it was like to be older.
At least it makes me feel a little bit younger. I mean, I'm only 25, it could be worse, I could be 26...oh wait, I will be in December... ;)

bah! your score came out only a few years older than you and not the freaking 7 for me!

can't believe i'm so old!! *cries quietly in the corner*

According to this, I am 3-4 years younger than my numerical age. (One of the questions was iffy).

Not sure what the point was of some of these questions, though. Seems to me, if you are responsible on many of these, you rate younger...

I think I agree with you about the lack of knowledge on the part of the author. :)
