As a quick disclaimer we wanted our viewers to know that this is a fun activity video and this video should not be taken too seriously or used as any kind of diagnostic criteria.
0:22 → 0:24
With that said, let's continue.
0:25 → 0:35
Did you know that not only do you have a physical age which changes with the ever turning wheel of time but that you also have a mental age that will never change.
0:36 → 0:41
Different from your physical age, your mental age is how old you are emotionally and psychologically.
0:41 → 0:45
Your physical age and your mental age do not have to be the same.
0:45 → 0:51
As an adult, you can have a low mental age processing a childlike view of the world around you.
0:51 → 0:56
A young person can have a high mental age indicating that you're wise beyond your years.
0:56 → 1:03
It's important to note that mental age is also not your IQ number but rather an expression of how you feel inside.
1:03 → 1:07
Figuring out what your mental age is is a great way to become more self-aware.
1:07 → 1:13
If you'd like to learn about your mental age now, grab a pen and paper or open up the notes app on your device.
