Can you give more background to this Mental Age Test?
Good question. Our Mental Age Test was first released in November 2013 on my personal website. The original content was introduced to me by a friend from Japan. However, I couldnโt find any online resource for it. It has now been translated into 32 languages and is one of the most shared webpages on Facebook and Twitter. Many famous people have taken this test. According to Google Analytics reports, more than 72,900,000 people from more than 239 countries/regions have taken this test. (as of Sep 2, 2023)
In February 2014, I moved this webpage from my personal website to arealme.com, and the Mental Age Test became the first test to exist on arealme.com. Many updates have been applied to the test since its launch. We have used various algorithms to improve its reliability, based on user feedback from Twitter, Facebook, and in our comments section (you can also drop a message after taking the test).
