How long do you want to live? .....
Now how long WILL you live? Take a longevity quiz and dare to find out.
This Northwestern Mutual Longevity Calculator provides a range of questions about your body mass index, drinking and smoking habits, eating habits, stress management and driving record (very fun animations and sound effects included during survey). However, after taking this survey I realized how over simplified the survey itself was and the concept of a longevity calculator was. It estimated I was going to live to 93 years in 12 questions! Only 12 questions. It failed to ask about my medical history, in depth dietary details, family history, lifestyle, exercise habits and mental health (I'm sure I'm missing other factors) I found another survey that asked 40 questions. It asked more specific questions; however I still was not convinced about my predicted age. Longevity is not something you can measure through a survey nor 5 factors that are key to longevity. It's a multitude of factors that are all relative to each individual. Nevertheless, I was amused by the surveys. Check them out and see if you actually reach the predicted age!
