An age assessment apparatus capable of assessing a substantial age of an
examinee from various active degrees is provided. The age assessment
apparatus scores detailed test items Z1jk with respect to kinesthetic
activity of an examinee in accordance with kinesthetic performance
scoring criteria and calculates kinesthetic age difference value
.DELTA.y1j which expresses a degree of age divergence from an actual age,
scores detailed test items Z2jk with respect to mental activity in
accordance with mental state scoring criteria and calculates mental age
difference value .DELTA.y2j, scores detailed test items Z3jk with respect
to physical activity in accordance with physical information scoring
criteria and calculates physical age difference value .DELTA.y3j, then
calculates a substantial age FF of the examinee by subtracting a sum
obtained by multiplying each of the age difference values and each of
weight coefficients pi which constitute an eigenvector which is a
solution of an eigenvalue problem in analytic hierarchy process together
from the actual age "a" of the examinee.
