    Putting arbitrary numbers on people to measure their matureness is weird to me.

    There are 15 year old people who are wiser and more mature than a lot with 50.

    You can’t know without knowing the person.

      Well it’s not arbitrary is it. Any quantitative measure of maturity is definitely correlated with age.

      Your “very mature” 15 year old is either an outlier, or an indictment on your ability to ascertain maturity.

        Is it? Do you have numbers on that?
