Yes, we can do this. But first of all we need to study the human psychology. Based on the subject we can assess the man behind the response very easily. Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well. The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen.

But then if human physchology is like Greek to a villager in Katrnataka or Maharashtra, then how? Thanks for your response!

It is fairly easy to pick out the very young and immature but after that almost imposable. Do not make the mistake of trying to judge a persons age by there proficiency in English. We have many members who do not speak English well but that in no way degrades the value of their posts or gives a true indication of their age.

It depends upon the question. I say usually no, a person may sound mature and be of young age. It is also possible that older people are still immature in their responses.
If the answer to the question like how long have you been married then you can tell the age or close to it.

It is possible but not 100% accurate. The way a person express himself or herself in writing shows maturity. The other one might be the level of english used.
I'd say an adult tend to give a more quality response compared to a minor. The minor will vent his or her emotions, feelings right away and directly.

It is not that obvious sometimes, so I can't say that I would guess correctly if I try to.
