The number of years since your birth doesn’t necessarily reflect your true age. Consider the options — chronological age versus emotional age or physical age. A 30-year-old couch potato may be “older” than a 50-year-old fitness buff; a mature 10-year old may be “older” than an emotionally bankrupt 40-year-old. We have labels to define age groups — Baby Boomers, Gen-Xers, Gen-Yers — but not of all us fit neatly into one category. Penelope Trunk, author of Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success, in conjunction with researcher Margaret Weigel, developed a test to help people determine their “real” age — at least in terms of where they fit according to standard definitions of Baby Boomer, etc. Take the test and figure out where you fit.  Do you have your own web page?
