Click on a few dots and this program will guess your age
- BudVVeezer 13y agoIt 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?
- RossM 13y agoGuessed 34 while I am 21. Will be interesting to see how they're guessing - I'm guessing it's not as straightforward as a lower age = faster speed.
- ceejayoz 13y agoThere were changes to target size (looking for missed clicks, I'd imagine) and clear patterns of movement vs. seemingly random targets. Wonder what else is being tracked.
- YuriNiyazov 13y agoI 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?"
- ianferrel 13y agoI am 31. It guessed 29. "I have the motor skills and catlike reflexes of a man in his 20s" is my new pickup line.
- tresta 13y agoI am 25. It guessed 34. On the plus side, I got carded when I went out drinking this weekend.
- hoov 13y agoI am 29 and it guessed 30 -- not half bad.
- calpaterson 13y agoI am 24 and it guessed 31. Not so close for me.
- jeffrogers 13y agoDon't know if it's a good thing or not, but the experiment guessed I was 12 years younger than my actual age.
- alan_cx 13y agoDid this a few days ago. Im 40 and it had me as 30. Fantastic bit of software. Cant recommend it enough...... :)
- wukkuan 13y agoIt 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.
- bichiliad 13y agoI think it just takes the mean age of hackernews readers and spits that out plus or minus a few years.
- jgeorge 13y agoI 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.
- dpedu 13y agoI'm 22 and got 30 twice... Whoops.

- tomkarlo 13y agoIt 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. I'd like to see how it does with folks further out on the age spectrum - less than 20 or greater than 50.
- Urgo 13y agoThis 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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K6bSVKao5I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K6bSVKao5I
- ebzlo 13y agoI'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.
