Harvard Mouse Game to guess your age, is it accurate?

Takes approximately 5 minutes. Asks for some personal details relating to age, gender, location of growing up, but nothing weird.

It guessed me as 30, I'm 27

Did not take a break when asked in the game.

It guessed me as 30, and I'm 33. :D

Did you take a break like it asked you to?

I'm going to modify my original post to say I didn't take a break (it's not like it was straining lol)

I wondered if it's accurate in a sense. For a person who plays games and does a lot of things with computers, I think experience with the mouse should be taken into account lol

[xopher]

It guessed 29 on me and I'm 31.

Took no breaks.

[hey]

It guessed 28, i'm 21.

Ya I did. I have sensitive eyes so where I stare like that, they tend to tear up. So I definitely took the opportunity when I could.

On a random note too, I took it using my left hand. Though I play mmos using my right, everything else (browsing internets, web games, etc) I always reach for the mouse with my left hand.

For shits and giggles, I did the test again with my right and still got 30. Which I find odd 'cause I at least felt like I was going much slower.

It guessed me as 30 and I'll be 31 in October.

I did take a quick deep breath just before starting each section.

[The Stig]

I wonder if there's a correlation, or whether it was tracking movement/shakyness.

I stumbled a bit on the last dot, clicking it 4 times before I actually got it.

I'd factor like to factor in PC experience somehow. If you're a generic person who only checks e-mails and use the internet to look up things, your speed and accuracy will drop significantly. Does this affect age, etc.

Guessed 31 and i'm 27, no breaks

[Grey Jorildyn]

Guessed 33, I'm gonna be 30 in a few weeks.

[Tyrath]

Took no breaks, although im slouched on a couch with my mouse on a pillow so Idk if that affected my performance.

Guessed 29 and I'm 23

"Our best guess is that you are 10. Is it close?"

Yeah, only off by 22 years.

I'm not sure how to interpret that result.

[falloutboy14]

Guessed 37, actually 31.

[Krazy]

lol

[Omnipotent]

Close............................................. .........................if I wasn't turning 24 tomorrow

"Our best guess is that you are 10. Is it close?"

Yeah, only off by 22 years.

I'm not sure how to interpret that result.

It also guessed me as 10 years old, I only missed 3 dots, and only missed by missclicking outside of them once. I didn't take any breaks, didn't need to. Off by 15 years lol

[The Stig]

Interesting. I thought missing the dots will increase your age. Not decrease it. Hmm...

I'd have thought it's increase it, I've watched my mum hilariously missing her clicks on big buttons and even worst on small ones lol

[Purrrfect]

Took the test and after the transmitting data page it timed out. Guess I'll have to try at home. Or I don't exist.

[Xerlic]

It guessed 29 and I'm 30. No breaks.

[Eurell]

Guessed 28, I'm 27.
