Can I take this test more than once?

Yes, you can retake the test any time to see how your results may have changed.

Will this quiz tell me my exact mental age in years?

No. The quiz does not assign a numerical age. Instead, it places you at one of eight psychological life stages, each defined by a specific combination of cognitive and emotional traits drawn from developmental psychology research.

Can my results change over time?

Yes. Psychological age is not fixed — it can shift in response to life events, personal growth, or changes in how you habitually process time, emotion, and relationships. Retaking the quiz after a significant life change can surface meaningful differences.

This psychology quiz uses research-backed dimensions to reveal where you fall on the psychological life cycle — and what that says about the real age of your mind.

Psychological Age Quiz

Your birth date only tells half the story. Find out what your cognitive habits reveal about your true psychological age.

By Mark Travers, Ph.D. | Last Updated: February 01, 2026

This quiz is designed to measure several core dimensions of psychological development. Together, these dimensions place you at one of several life stages on what psychologists call the psychological life cycle — from The Child (the age of radical openness) to The Ancient (the age of transcendence). Your result is not a ranking. Each stage reflects a distinct set of psychological strengths and tendencies. If you enjoy exploring how your mind works at a deeper level, you might also want to take the Old Soul Personality Test or the Philosophical Orientation Test.
