> “Chronological age is not a particularly good indicator [of maturity], but it’s something we need to do for practical purposes,” This may be anecdotal, but I've found a very strong association between age and maturity in my life, especially under 25. If you were to do a blind chat with a 10, 15, 20 and 25 year old do you really believe you wouldn't be able to place them accordingly? But maybe this is just my own biases deluding me. I'd like to think I'm a better man than I was 5 years ago, and will continue to be a better one 5 years in the future. Then again, is maturity really defined as being "a better (wo)man", because according to dictionary.com it's defined by age. Either way I'd be curious for that professor's full quote. Maybe if we could replace "[maturity]" with what she actually said it would shed some insight on what exactly we're talking about.
