I just took the Life Expectancy quiz, and it spit out a number higher than I would have guessed. My immediate reaction was, "If I do live that long, I hope I'm still kicking!" In the quest for longevity, I think we sometimes lose sight of the fact that even if we live to our late 90's or 100's, our friends and those that we have shared our life with until this point are probably not going to be around. Is it worth living a long time when you have no one to share it with? I'm not so sure.
Anyways, back to the question at hand. I've taken tests like this one before, and so I was expecting a lot of the questions that it asked. I think it is hard, though, to determine someone's life expectancy with a couple dozen questions. I think there's more to it than that. Of course a lot of our answers are going to change in the next couple of years, too, and so our expected age will be altered.
Overall I found the quiz interesting and a fun little exercise.
