How tall will you get? Are these calculators accurate...?

[LookAtMeNow]

I dunno - curious to know so I tried a couple of online calculators like www.howtallwilliget.com

... are these things accurate at all? What do you guys get? I get 5'11 and I'm currently 5'10....

[Cantwaittobealone]

I am 5'7 and it said that I will be 6 feet. There is really no way to know if it is accurate, only time will tell.

[Unlucky_Leprechaun]

I am 17 and 5-6...it says I am going to 5-11.... Hmmm, I'm not sure if that is accurate or not..that is a lot of growing. My Dr. recently told me that i would probably be 5-8 (maybe). Only time and my genes will be able to tell for sure, but I wouldn't bet on it being that accurate.

[Giles]

No. Simple answer, they aren't accurate and I would not recommend you take any notice of what they say. You'd be better off looking at your parents/grand parents. If they are generally short then you will probably be shorter than average, taller then you'll probably be taller etc.

[Kujiro]

Nope. These calculators are made for thrills and for people whom are just bored. Which tags along with lots of advertisement.

It's logically impossible to calculate the height, or sizes based on any formulae.
They are unable to take into accounts your genes, your ancestry.. In fact they know nothing.

The best benchmark you can get is looking at your parents an your siblings. You would get a closer estimate.

The miraculous thing about growth is it's uncertainty. In fact it's something that we can't do much about except sitting back to let it happen.

In fact even if we feel we are not natually tall enough theres nothing really much we can do about it.

It said I am going to be 6'1, it sounds right, but give or take a few inches. I agree with what Kujiro said. Look at close family members and you will get a general idea.

[LookAtMeNow]

Yeah I agree... but it's weird cause some guys with short dads, but a tall mom get really really tall I've noticed... I think for guys it has a lot to do with the mom's height, and for girls I dunno haha

baha! why?? how tall did it say you were going to get? :D

[The Madman]

It says i'm already taller than the calculator thinks im gonna get. ..
..
..
Should start shrinking any day now i guess :P

They are not accurate. Unless this calculator analyses your DNA, foresees any environmental impacts and knows your exact stage in puberty, it doesn't have a chance.

lol, yeah, that aint happening any time soon I suppose... read into it a bit and apparently your discs actually fuse when you've reached your max height - definitely interesting

[chargersfan]

it says im taller already than I should be and im 13 thats way off. Im 5'11 though my mom is 5'2 dad is 6 ft.

[Rossboy]

ahhh i wouldnt worry about how tall ya are! ya cant change it so ya just gotta accept it!

[BayArea]

If you want an decently accurate guess on how tall you will get, ask your doctor next time you go in for a physical. Otherwise, the link you provided is bogus.

[markus]

im 4 ft 11 and it says I will get to 6 ft 1 wow cool. I hope its right

[Imaussie]

Srsly how can Artficial intelligence tell you how tall are you going to be??? Firstly this ai is srsly incorrect second think how can artificial intelligence 'know' the height your going to be. I studied artificial intelligence for 1.5 years and have been to uni for a week with phd's and students teaching me and 8 others how ai works and their ai sport called robo soccer, the students haven't even been figured out how program the robots functional with out assistance within the game after 8 years of progaming.

[JustMyself]

It says I'm going to be 5'8 which is quite strange since my Mum's 4'11 and my dad's 5'8. I'm currently 5'6 but you never know :D

[Footballkid27]

its says im taller than i should be....

[tyler17OKC]

It said that I am taller now than it calculated i should be, so I would say that they are not always accurate.

[Steve01]

im 15 5'6-5'7 and ill be 5'9

[terbear]

I'm right on par with my growth; but even though I'm 6'2" my doctor says I have a few more inches to grow.

[Ben Michael]

My doctor said I'll be 6'5 no joke and this thing said I'll be 6'2"
