From The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock.
Question #64: Do you feel that advice from older people carries a special weight because of their greater experience?

I agree, I think it depends a lot. Just because someone is older than you are does not necessarily mean that they know more or that they have more experience with everything.

In general I would agree. But I also take into account how smart that person is and whether the experience they have had is relevant to my current situation.

In my experience working at a place where most of the costumers were older: it would all depend on the person and subject. It would also help if the advice is something they had experience too.

It depends on the older person.
Going by the MBTI, we all have preferences of thinking and feeling, intuiting and sensing, introversion and extroversion, judging and percieving.. these all effect how a person, including an older person, sees the world.
Most people are sensors.
Most old people are sensors.
I do appreciate their point of view but they easily dismiss mine as naive and ungrounded.
I really admire older intuitives much more. They are more likely to understand my enthusiasm and offer better advice and REASONS for why something may or may not work.

This is kind of by the by, but I was at a talk with a psychologist last month and she told us that the MBTI is basically completely disregarded by the psych profession. They actually use a six-point system which is split into further sections, I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head. The MBTI is too limited for real applicable use.
