## Reading

On a seven-point scale rating how much their current self resembles the self they expect to be in ten years, the largest group of Americans (30%) sits squarely in the middle.

The rest tilt gently toward continuity: 40% land on the similar half of the scale, compared with 30% on the dissimilar half, in a February 2025 Verasight survey.
