I asked an older person this once. They told me a mid-life crisis does not literally mean "mid-life." This person said it was a point in life usually between 30-50.
Never heard of a quarter life crisis, but believe I get your point. I think quarter life crisis' would not be a crisis since u still have tie left as far as you know (barring an illness u know about). It'd be more like a fork in the road, reassessing goals or something like that.

If you decide that the average life span for a person is 80 years, then a mid-life crisis would come at about 40 years and a quarter-life crisis would come at about 20 years. However, people are affected by societal pressures and expectations at different times. For example; what are we expected to have achieved at what age? If we haven't achieved what we perceive others expect of us that will lead to a crisis.

20. 40. and one for each individual decimal point. Throw in 19 nervous breakdowns, 4 car accidents, 23 funerals and a divorce or two. So when you come to a fork in the road...take it!
but seriously...consider the "Three Ages of Man" from the sonnets....

I suppose an individual will never know until the moment of death. Averages are really crappy statistics. Fifty-eight percent of people don't care about them, 93% feign interest, politicians distort 100% of them, and the weathermen are right at zero percent.
