How do you measure a person's height?

Question

Is it from feet to the top of the head?

Answer 1

It's from the floor to the top of their head. I can't believe this is actually a legitimate question (in the Engineering section no less).

Answer 2

Using a measuring tape!

Answer 3

Look in their passport.

Answer 4

Yes, but feel free to measure it any other way you want, like from finger to toe.

Answer 6

usually

Answer 7

yes from the feet to the top of head

Answer 8

The easiest way is to use a height measuring device.

But have a person stand against a wall, bear feet, take a foot rule and put it horizontally on the head hold the foot rule in that position and let the person measure between the ruler and the floor, using a measure tape, while you hold the ruler against the wall.

Answer 9

yes, from floor to the top of the head
