I think it's different for girls. I'm a 5'8" guy and I would consider myself short.

Physical differences between genders. 5'7 is relatively short for a man, though tall for a girl (especially if you're not finished growing).

5 7' wasn't sure for the time. It was average height for men. Napoleon was taller than Wellington for instance.

It should be known by now that Napoleon was of over average height in his time and that this saying "small emperor" was based on an error in measurements (French and Englisch measures weren't the same) and that it was also partly British propaganda.

Yeah, I don't like Napoleon being included in this test (and having him in the picture) because it perpetuates this baseless factual error.
