A death test is a questionnaire which can be used to predict the age a person will die. Questions on such a test typically ask about date of birth, family genetic history, diet, exercise, smoking, drinking, risky behavior, and the age at death of the person's parents. The likelihood of these tests being true has been questioned, and the site founders have agreed, saying the tests are just for fun and offer no healthful assistance. There have also been moral complaints regarding such predictions, as it has distressed some individuals who are unhappy with the inaccuracy of such results. The death test might be seen by some individuals as a friendly reminder that life is slipping away.
