Click Dots, Program Guesses Your Age

[Pike]

Click on a few dots and our program will guess your age! (http://kgajos.eecs.harvard.edu/ag/)

It got me correct. I have no idea how.

[Formalhaut]

Pffft! Not even close.

I'm 18. The program said I was 35. I know I feel old, but not that old! :|

[Mirage]

Program said 30, I am 28.

[Psychotic]

Program said 28. Wrong again, Harvard! I turn 26 next week.

[Formalhaut]

Wrong again, Harvard! I turn 26 next week.

Hey, at least it's not far off. They got my age wrong by an astounding 17 years!

[Jinx]

29.

[Agent Proto]

It guess 32, and I'm 30. Off by 2 years, I can deal with that.

[Shauna]

Said I was 29, only 6 years off.

[Rantz]

41. I am 25 :lol:

[Shauna]

I wonder how it calculates the age. I am too curious about this.

[Night Fury]

30.

I'm 20. :colbert:

[Denmark]

32. I'm 24.

[Formalhaut]

I wonder how it calculates the age. I am too curious about this.

It says here (http://kgajos.eecs.harvard.edu/ag/thanks.php) Shauna:

To guess your age, we look at over 60 factors. Speed definitely matters, but it is only one thing that our software looks at. Other factors include the duration of tiny pauses people make while moving the mouse pointer, the timing of the peak velocity, the shape of the movement, and many others.

[Shauna]

Yeah, I read that. But it doesn't really say how it all comes together to be calculated! I would need more information for my curiosity to be sated.

[Formalhaut]

Did more digging.

It's part of a project called "Lab in the wild" which is a current project ongoing at 'Intelligent Interactive Systems Groups at Harvard'. It's not done yet: so expect results and more details later on.

[Faris]

I'm 2022. :colbert:

:doublecolbert:

[Lawr]

I did this on my laptop so yeah. Plus I turned 20 today and was hoping that would throw it off but it guessed I was 30 years old!

[Shorty]

43. I'm greatly offended.

[Pumpkin]

45. Also greatly offended.

[Laddy]

It says I'm 30 when I'm 19. :colbert:

[NorthernChaosGod]

I got 30. I'm 24.

[KH-Cloudy]

Program guessed 31, but I'm 19!

[Jinx]

Harvard, this program sucks.

[Rantz]

43. I'm greatly offended.

Phew! At least I'm not as e-old as you. :D

[Shorty]

[the_best_noob]

Guessed I was 19 years older than I am

Smurf you too, Harvard

[Pheesh]

Guessed 29, I'm actually 22. They're not so smart :colbert:

[edczxcvbnm]

I took this thing twice during the week and both times got 29. Pretty good as I am 30. However I thought the results might be a bit skewed as I was drunk. So I just took it sober. I got 10 this time...fucking 10! (http://kgajos.eecs.harvard.edu/ag/results.php?code=ag2v1366857269.7141&f=0) I am not sure if that is good or bad :/

[Unbreakable Will]

33. I'm 22.

:zombert:

[Citizen Bleys]

So thus far, the test has been accurate exactly 0% of the time.

American tax dollars at work!

Come to Canada, we get free health care instead.

[Shorty]

It's not tax dollars, it's tens of thousands of dollars of tuitions!

Correction: I intentionally disregarded the OP.

I'm totally not lying right now

[Aulayna]

40... I'm 26 xD

[Bunny]

Y'all some slow ass niggas.

It was 4 years off.

[LocoColt04]

Told me I was 30.
Not bad. Recently 27.

[Quindiana Jones]

38. Nice one.

I'm gonna try this with a mouse on a proper laptop next time; see how it changes.

[Aulayna]

Took it again on my pc at home - 25 when I'm 26!

[blackmage_nuke]

I was predicted to be 5 years older than I am

[Gzussaves]

was hoping to try this out but it looks like their site is having some issues

[edczxcvbnm]

I had that happen a week ago. Just try again later.

[Calliope]

Said I was 29, only 6 years off.

You're 35????

Site's still broken, oh well.

[Formalhaut]

Site's still broken eh? Not a bad thing. Maybe Harvard wanted to spare their own embarrassment based on how inaccurate it is!

[Rydia of Mist]

It crashed when I tried to access it. Perhaps this means I'm immortal. Neat.
