How many dogs do you see? The answer may shed light on your mental age
Our "true" age is not simply that which we are assigned based how many years we've been alive, but is rather more akin to our "mental age", an intriguing aspect of human psychology. Each of us has an inner self that can seem significantly different to our chronological age. This fascinating subject has been explored in depth by Alfred Binet, an esteemed French psychologist, who has devoted his career to developing a series of tests to better probe and understand this complex topic.
It is in this context that we invite you to participate in one of these tests. It's an opportunity to explore and reveal where your mental age stands in relation to your actual age. Look closely at the picture below and count how many dogs you see. Before answering, look carefully at the image because your answer could reveal a lot about your mental age, which is often surprisingly different from your chronological age. You are ready? Remember your answer for the analysis phase.
