I just wrote about the Real Age test in Dog20's "Tips For Looking Younger" thread, and just pulled up my own test results.  They must have changed the way they're scoring this thing, because the last time we discussed this a few months ago, I was coming in at 6 years younger than my chronological age.  Now I'm coming in at more than 13 years younger!  I thought something must have gotten messed up so I took the test again and I'm still getting 26.7 as my Real Age.    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Has anybody else's score changed since the last time you looked at it?

and at RealAge.com they actually expect people to know their heart-rate, blood pressure, etc.?  ???  I had to abandon the survey on the first page.

I tried it and it shaved a year and a half off my real age.  I'm thinking the angioplasty surgery last year must of added quite a few years.  But after I took it, it showed me some of the things that were taking away years and it made me think I answered the questions incorrectly or without complete information.  A word of advice... make sure you have all of your medical stats handy when you take that survey.  I did alot of the "not sure" answers and it counted against me.

Are you getting the same score that you had before?  Mine changed, without changing any of the answers on the quiz.

I have only taken it once.  It took quite awhile to get through everything in the survey.  But I think I will retake it and the next time have my medical stats available.  I'd like to see how it changes.

Just log into your account and see if your score is the same as it was before.  Mine wasn't, and I didn't touch my answers from the last time I took it.  Either they changed the way they score it, or perhaps it's weighted as you get older to give more credit for doing the right things.  I mean, if you're 22 and you're living a healthy lifestyle, they really can't make you a whole lot younger, but when you're 30 they can shave 5 or 6 years off your age for doing the exact same things.   I'm wondering if my recent move into the next age bracket has anything to do with getting 7 more  years off my Real Age.

Its far from accurate but there is a profile of very age so that use that scale to give it to you.

those programmers are something else :D
