Chronologically 18; most of the people I work with and know say that my maturity level is mid 30s at minimum.
What's worse is that I look like I'm at least 30. My brother is 28, and if you stand us side-by-side, we're a mirror image of each other. (Side note, I'm adopted. I have no idea how my brother looks exactly like me since we're in no way blood related.)
See me here, and my brother here.

age in years: 22
age in wisdom years: 50
emotional maturity: 14

People who don't know me well think I'm a lot older. When I go out I get more attention from older chicks, ones around 25-28... more than girls my own age. I pretty much look down on the ones my age anyways. Around certain people though, I act like I'm 12. Pretty much saying the stupidest things, my secretly tongue-in-cheek avant-garde humor. Ok I am dreaming.

Age 21, I'd say my maturity ranges from 16 - 40, though most of the time it is right at 21.

Someday, your parents will finally reveal the dark family secret that you are not adopted but instead, the biological son of your mother and father.

THAT would be an interesting revelation. I didn't even know my adopted parents until 2 years ago (and I'm gonna turn 19 soon).

<edit>Not that I would mind, though. I love them & I'd like to have that little bit more of a tie to them. </edit>
