On How Long I Will Live

My test stated that I would live to be 91 years old. I feel like this is a bit of a stretch, and I would doubt its accuracy. I do feel that if I were to take this later in life it may be able to tell me with greater accuracy based on how my life had progressed. 
     I feel I am most skeptical about this prognosis based on the questions and the obvious target age of the users of this tool. Since I am in school, and living a much younger life style than what I would expect later in life, I feel that my answers to their question were not representative of who I will be later in life. Plus many of their questions I feel targeted an older age range. 
    My largest concern with the question was their limited answer choices. There were many answer choices that reached the extremes but not enough of the intermediate possibilities.  Either way I would not trust this test to tell me with accuracy but maybe it could give a relative range of younger versus older..
