There are tests that analyzes your general bahaviour, emotional reactions and entertainment choices, these gives a good estimate of your mental age... At least imho the result is right (and i get along with people around 30 much better than my age fellows)

Location: Bridgend, south Wales.

Likes: Decent music (heavy rock/metal, classical, blues, some jazz, some traditional far-Eastern stuff, anything else that takes my fancy), films, martial arts, fencing, reading, the odd drink with friends, vintage aircraft, ships, gadgets.

Dislikes: Selfish/self-obsessed/arrogant/aggressive/shallow people, my job, godawful pop/dance/"urban" music, my fear of social occasions/large groups of people, the town I live in, people in power with vested interests (pretty much all of 'em), fashionable people (otherwise known as trendy bastards), chavs, the fact that my dislikes list is significantly longer than my likes list.

Social life: Non-existent. My few friends have moved away, either to uni or to do other stuff. I have a profound fear of people (at least in groups), so making friends is not at all easy. Needless to say I'm not having much fun....

Political ideology: "Be excellent to each other!" Probably liberal socialist, but I'm rather disillusioned with the whole thing at the moment....

Religion: Agnostic, proto-Buddhist.

Career: Not yet. Currently a till monkey at a B&Q store (DIY, paint, gardening stuff etc.), but I hate it. Long-term goal is to be a pilot, should be starting an Aerospace Engineering degree in the autumn (though I f*cked up an important exam last week, so I don't know if I'll get on the course. :(  I would've joined the RAF, but my vision is dreadful...) Either that, or I'll be dead this time next year. I hate my life....

I'm a member of the protestant church because it was not separated from state when I was born. I could exclude myself and save a few dimes in church tax, but I can't bother to fill out the form, and I don't really have much of an income anyway.

Dislikes: Bull****, FOX, lies, threats. hot-headed republicans, ignorance, egomania, myself.

Political Ideology: According to a "politcal compass" survey, my ideologies are kind of close to Ghandi. I guess I'm left wing, but I am far too cynical to vote in this country.

Religion: Completely secular. No religion at all. I have my own ideas on how to live my life. The best part is that it is not based on a threat

Career: Right now I am a student and part time math tutor. Next year I plan to teach english in China for a year (or two), then after that continue my studies in China.
