Lab In The Wild: Interactive Age Test

[Matthiasa]

It guessed i was 30... I think they need a larger sample size given everyone was within like 2 years of that no matter their actual age.

 

[Cattlegod]

seems like a bunk test - everyone is getting 29-33 no matter how old!

 

[Udgnim]

guessed 30

I'm 30

I am now going to retry again and reduce my cyber age

Using trackball. Off by 2 years.

 

[Cuda1447]

trackpad, off by 10 years.

It's an excuse to survey everyone.

The software guessed my age as 42, I'm actually 74, is that good or bad?

The reflex test put me at 9 years older than I actually am, but I'm using a mouse I don't usually use right now. For the face test I got 29/36. I want to see the answers before I accept that score, because a lot of them seemed really obvious, and then there were others like the old men with saggy eyelids that are probably incapable of showing flirtatiousness like the bazillion young women peering to their sides could.

sitting on my sofa with my mouse on the cushion next to me... terrible setup lol

anyway, it said i was 30, which i am.

i felt like i was going way too slow :/ i could have gone faster at a desk.

Said 29, am 29. I wonder if I could get a better result at home. Shitty mouse/mousepad at work..

Out of curiosity, what is better than 100% accuracy in your mind? Or do you mean the phenomenon where everyone wants to be younger than they actually are?

Said I was 42 and am actually 30, a bit drunk and very tired

Guessed mine perfectly. Props to them!

That social test is (in my eyes) useless, because static images mean you have no reference, and thus cannot properly evaluate how the face has changed compared to baseline.
Also, I do wonder what they use as ground truth, to say whether someone is right or wrong.

...yeah, I only got 26 right 😉
