Has anyone used any height calculator or formula online to work out their natural maximum height?

If so, have you grown taller than it guessed? If so, how much?

For those who havent calculated it online yet, use this formule & practice maths xD (Its different for each gender... &beware, this is using the metric system, not feet and inches)

For Guys

(Fathers Height + Mums height + Fathers Father + Fathers Mother + Mothers Mother + Mothers Father) / 6 x 1.08 + 8.8
For Girls

(Fathers Height + Mums height + Fathers Father + Fathers Mother + Mothers Mother + Mothers Father) / 6 x 0.92 + 6.4

I havent beaten it.. Yet. It says I should be maximum 150.38cm and right now... well last time I checked I was 149.5cm... Well I got measured by a doctor so it may be taller or shorter...

Hmm according to the formula my maximum height should be 179,5 cm. Let's hope it is

Have you got the genders the wrong way round? Because as it is it predicts girls to be taller than boys. 6 x 0.92 = 5.52, so for girls you're dividing by less than 6, when the heights of 6 people have been taken into account, meaning they're meant to be substantially taller than the average height of the 6 adults. Whereas with boys you're dividing the heights of the 6 people by 6.48, so it's going to be a much smaller number than with females; they're supposedly going to be substantially shorter than females of the same lineage.

As a boy, I'm meant to be 165cm, as a girl I'm meant to be 190cm. (Or if the genders are the wrong way round as I suspect, I'd swap the 6.4 and 8.8, so 163cm~ for a girl and 192cm~ as a boy. Either way I don't really think that this is very accurate, at least it won't be accurate for a lot of people. Where did they come up with (6 x 0.92) + 8.8 and (6 x 1.09) + 6.4?

Usually height calculators said i'd become 5'11-6'1 so yeah you could say i've beaten some however guys like Chris (with parents somewhere around 5'6-5'8) probably have beaten some by far more!

Pardon me sorry andy I stuffed that up...

The female sum is:

(Fathers height + Mothers + Fathers Father + Fathers Mother + Mothers Father + Mothers Mother) / 6 x 0.92 + 11.4

The male sum is:

(Fathers height + Mothers + Fathers Father + Fathers Mother + Mothers Father + Mothers Mother) / 6 x 1.08 + 14

Sorry about that guys, I stuffed up =S

Again, warning, this uses metric system (centimetres) not inches and feet.

the convential calculator is all based on genes, try the height forecaster on my site and see what you get

PS: remember to register at my site's forum as well

dad is 164 and mom 163 and i am now 189 cm so i guess ive kicked my genes ass without even doing any exercise, eating proper or sleeping properly either lol

hmmmm how many hours do you get usually?...and what time do you go to bed/?

i did sleep good when i was in primary school, like 8 pm to 7 am but since i was 15 i started sleeping from like 2 am to 6.30 am.

edit: im 17 now
