Whether you’re color-coding three calendars or still Googling “how do I tell if milk is no longer good,” this quiz is your playful self-reflection on the so-called “adult life.”

We’ll poke at your laundry habits, parking skills, and the real reason your credit-card statement reads like a plot twist. Grab your favorite mug, settle in, and let’s find out if you’re a baby, a teen-adult, a functional human with a toolbox, or a full-blown adulting guru.

    You've Mastered Adulting: yet as a loner introvert that still gets happy over cake, it really doesn't feel like that. 🤔

    If someone doesn't get happy over cake, then that is not even adulting..

    It's not constructed properly for someone like me - I know I didn't mastered s***t. It's also partially unsuitable for residents of areas with reasonable public transport. I don't need a car.

    Same. I had to tackle the car and the appliance repair questions hypothetically, as I've never learned to drive and rent. There were no options for my scenarios.

    #11. Why would you ask guests to bring anything, sort of not so good hospitality?

    Depends on the occasion, if it's on the spur of the moment and the person I invited asks if they can bring anything I might ask them to. But if it's planned, then no need.

    Some questions are multiple-yes (I can tie a tie, but nobody wears them) or no relevant answer (change bed sheets every 3 weeks, clean the fridge annually). As usual, not enough thought into other possible answers.

    I'm a master thanks to my parents that forced me to parent them from age 8 :-/ I did have a 15 year period where I went absolutely NUTS (d***s, parties and booze) but have behaved really well since 2013.

    I took a test to tell me what kind of adult I am. That kinda indicates that I’m not quite the adult I could be, honestly I took it in the hope it thought I would get a higher status than I am, I wasn’t disappointed. Turns out I’m winging it quite well, 50 years old and faking it until I make it.

    Well, being that I've been an adult for a really, really, REALLY long time now (I'm 62), I would hope that I've mastered adulting but I will admit that I fight myself over my budget (it's like, "oops! Time to work some overtime!").

    I'm a baby! Unfortunately this list doesn't take into account things like...being a single parent with a single income and health problems and introduces scenarios that A) I wouldn't encounter (I have never had a phone plan expire had have to choose a new one and also, I don't have credit card bills because I don't use credit cards. If I can't buy it with what money I have, I don't need it) and B) wasn't given options for (I reheat pizza in the air fryer on reheat for 3 minutes). But hey...if I'm a baby, I'm a baby with a house with no mortgage, a newish car with no payments, zero credit card debt and manage to support 2 children on a single income.

    Idk if it's my generation (I'm GenX), but I'm shocked I got "mastered adulting." I low key have imposter syndrome about it, largely because I love whimsy, enjoy being silly, always make time for playtime, love children's and "family" movies, still listen to punk, hardcore, and metal, etc.

    I am way tooooo over responsible. My childhood ended when I was 11.5 when my brother (moderate birth defect/major health problems) was born. Now (f76) I wish I could be more laid back. Sigh

    250: Whoa. You've reached a level that most only dream about. Bills, schedules, meals, and minor disasters don't faze you. Seems like you handle it all with calm & precision. People probably come to you for advice on nearly everything. You've got adulting in your DNA and we're proud of you.

    I don't think I have or plan to "master" being an adult. Therefore I won't be taking his test. Either I find out I'm a "master" adult and make my self sad or I find out I'm totally failing and question everything - either way, I'm better off not knowing.
