Not overlisted, he always looked 184-185 cm range to me. 183 cm is too low for hi IMO. Much better influence on men than Tate.

@Rob This is probably right. His talks are interesting, he had also talks and an discussion with Mohammed Hijab from the Uk on different topics. Would you say he is the 6'7 that he claims, Rob?

I'm sorry but if he's struggling with 6ft, that's very bad news for Dr. Oz!

@Andrew Lee, interesting because I initially thought he wasn't that practically tall mainly because of his high pitched voice. He's kind of how I'd imagine Abraham Lincoln's voice to sound like having also been 6'0+, yet having a high pitched voice.

I think he's overlisted. He has excellent proportions and a slim build/small head which give an impression he's taller.

Yeah, I just looked at a photo where he was with CR7 and he didn't look taller than 5ft11, however many other photos clearly show he is 183-184cm at least and 6ft1 at the peak.

I personally thin 6'0 1/4 now is alittle extreme. Sure he can look it at times, but he has relatively poor posture by the looks of it. I'm going with 6'1 peak and 6'0 1/2 now.

2 cm loss already? yeah maybe. In all the photos he take its pretty clear that he loose about 1 inch in all of them. peak 6´1 seems about right. maybe 6´3/4. today 1 cm loss

I had based it on the photos where he looked about 5'11, with Dr.OZ he looks a solid 6'0.5 , although Oz didn't suffer from the same problem as Peterson (the photo detracted by making him look smaller).

I think when fully stretched, Jordan can still land somewhere in 184cm zone. He's got rubbish posture in those photos with Ronaldo and Musk. Solid 6ft1 guy peak. Rob should mention up top that he claimed 6ft1½ as well on Rogan's podcast. I believe he did get that earlier in the day once. Morgan I think is a bit under 6ft today but worst case 5ft11½. Back to back, Jordan would have him by an inch.
He still looked about 6ft1 with Dr. Oz (also minimum 5ft11½ these days) just a few years ago

The current listing looks more accurate, he definitely no longer looked 6'1 with Piers and Ronaldo, even accounting for dropping height. A little over 6' with Piers is believable, who I think might be more 5 ft 11 and change now.

He was gravely ill and almost died a couple years back, wonder if that had any impact in causing premature shrinking?

Editor RobI think he should get a current height as he looks like he's lost something, how much exactly is harder to pinpoint with the way the guy poses.

Over 6 ft peak, now looking weak 6 ft 182cm. He wasn’t standing straight with Ronaldo, looks 2 inches shorter than Ronaldo, but standing straight would’ve looked 3-4cm

Looked ~5cm shorter than Cristiano Ronaldo (average guess of 185.8cm), but I estimated he is losing 1.5cm in that pose. So maybe around 3.5cm shorter than Cristiano Ronaldo, maybe 4 cm? Peterson should be closer to 182cm anyway. 5'11.5 - 5'11.75. He probably lost some height in the last years tho. Maybe a bit above 6' was his peak height. I've seen a lot of people losing around 2cm by the age of 60.

5'11.75" at his low and careless posture... that should be closer to the truth nowadays. His peak arguably 6' something, maybe 6'0.5" or even 6'0.75" with a solid 6'1 range at morning?

Piers isn't quite 6ft himself these days, so 5ft 11.5-11.75 range for Peterson makes sense. Peterson likely still clears 6ft an hour after waking up and standing straight.

In the picture with Piers Morgan Peterson’s eye level is slightly taller but looking at the top of their heads you can tell Piers’ is higher up. At best case Peterson looks 6’0.25” if hair is adding height to Morgan.

He looks under 6 ft with Ronaldo but you can't argue that with Piers. Maybe he has lost a little at 60 but I think he's one of those guys who could measure taller than they stand. I'm sure Rob will give him a 6'0.5 listing within a few years anyway due to age.

I sent you an email the other day Rob when I couldn't get in on my ipad the Ronaldo and Jordan pic. Difficult to see them both at 6 ft 1, though he does look this with little Ben Shapiro.

He looks barely between 180-181cms tall next to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Both does have solid 1inch+ footwear (nike air force vs. leather classic boots).
I don't know why, but 6'1" CR7 is just almost towering 6'1" Jordan Peterson ... something going wrong, Rob, are you agree ?!)

He’s definitely losing some height in that photo. Under 6ft is ridiculous. He’s easily 1in+ taller than Dr. Oz in that photo that used to be on here. I suppose a weaker 6ft1 if measured today though. Peak solid-strong 6ft1, no less.
I believe him when he claims 6ft1½. Like mid-morning at peak would easily have got it

Jordan needs to follow his own Rule #1, "Stand up straight with your shoulders back" lol, it would really help us estimate how tall he is and how he compares with people like Ronaldo.

I do not believe JBP had hair implants. He had alopecia that stemmed from some health issues. He talked about it on Dave Rubin’ podcast. Dave, who is still in his early 40’s also had a bout of it from stress.
Dr. Peterson’s hair has grown back in nicely lately. Dave’s grew back too. Looks great.
He also said publicly on several occasions that his height was 6 foot 2 inches. He may have list an inch due to his age. We all do, because of spinal compression over the years.
I have telogen-effluvium right now myself, which is hair loss due to a disruption in the healthy hair growth/loss cycle due to health issues and physical stress. Mine is due to two surgeries I had last year. Can’t wait for mine to grow back! It’s awful.
I seriously doubt he's lost half an inch, forget a full an inch. Looks in good shape. I can see a case for 186cm.

Actually, Meltdown, I am an admirer of Jordan Peterson. That man is stone honest, and I have yet to catch him saying anything with which I could reasonably disagree.
The problem with the guy is that is so uncharitable. I am an old man now, and I am telling you from personal experience that being kind usually trumps being honest as a actionable strategy for personal happiness. This guy's principal moral failure is that he is obsessed with his position in a social hierarchy that gives him privileges other people don't have, and he's very stingy about sharing those privileges with people he considers lower than he is in the hierarchy. Would it kill him to just be nice to people, including himself, instead of constantly holding everybody, including himself, to personal standards that take so much effort to maintain?

Give the man a break. He got addicted to pain pills as a result of his wife fighting life-threatening cancer. He's very predisposed to depression and is often very emotional. I'm glad his wife has recovered fully and so did he.
As for height, I'd say he was 6ft 1½ peak, now marginally under 6ft 1. His IQ is arguably over 150 SD 15.

Peterson's diet story is at least credible, Rampage. People have amazing capacity to adapt to bad diets. Young people can eat shingle nails and roofing glue for breakfast and be just fine. The seamen in Nelson's navy (who were all young men, it is true) ate food every day that modern dieticians would categorize as poisonous, and yet were able to withstand the hardships of life at sea in a time war. Young alcoholics can function quite well for years while drinking amounts of alcohol daily that would kill most men.
Peterson is one gifted guy. He's not only highly intelligent and an excellent speaker, but tall and handsome as well. Now he's rich. Unfortunately, he's not happy. He was so miserable that he had to take benzodiazepines to stave off emotional collapse. He became addicted and, even though he is not yet sixty, he will never be a healthy man again. So the question that needs to be asked is, if he's so wise in the ways to live life well, why is he miserable?
As long as I'm here, Rob, how about a page for Hunter S. Thompson? (Six foot three?)

Rob, is 6ft1½ peak arguable?
Arch, I find him a bit narcissistic but the carnivore diet can actually work up to a point with ketogenesis, weight loss etc. Longer-term it will raise your cholesterol, blood pressure and if the trend were to take off possibly scurvy could even make a comeback which is pretty much the one human disease that's been eradicated...he swears by it though

Would not surprise me if he was 6ft 2 out of bed in his youth. A strong 6ft 1 is a fair claim.

He looks a good height, 6'1 ish is reasonable. I don't see his appeal personally, he always seems a bit neurotic/hypochondriac, some of his ideas on diets etc are purely carnivore diets are dangerous.

Actually, Easterwood, that stand up straight bit was metaphorical. Some of Peterson's twelve rules are just sentences designed to provoke people. "Don't become addicted to prescription drugs." Wait a minute. That's not on the list.
This is where I explain that I agree with pretty much everything Peterson says but, like many people, find him difficult to like. One of my rules is, don't go around giving other people advice, especially when the gist of the advice is, "you'd be a better person if you were more like me." Also, the guy is pretty upfront about the fact that he's unhappy much of the time, and opines that happiness as a goal is absurd. So right there, he loses a certain amount of utility as a personal advisor.

He has probably claimed 6'2 in his youth before considering he's claiming 6'1 or even 6'1.5 at this age Google apparently has him down as 187 cm now. I'd say 187-88 (if generous) peak, 185 now. Only lost around an inch. Hopefully he only loses one more before 70. Surprised no one here thought he was as tall as 6'3 at first, seems like a slender guy this Peterson.

He claimed 6’1.5” before, and I think he’s at least that. Probably 6’2” max.

He's at least 6ft1 standing up straight.
Walks around like a 6footer but I doubt he'd ever measure that short. I think he's around 6ft2 in the morning

@Vini Fry is standing behind and on 1:56.29 Click Here there is solid 9cm difference. Don't get fool by what you see at first, camera tricks can push a few inches shorter or taller. Jordan Peterson is max 6'1 not more.

I had my photo taken with him November of last year. He is at least an 1-1.5 inch taller than myself in the photo. Although he did have on dress shoes with a small heel. I believe myself to be 6ft.

Could've been a 186 cm type in his 20s/30s... He's claimed "about 6'1.5"

Rob, you should definitely give Dr. Oz a page (just to debunk those crazy 6'1 listings)! I haven't seen that much of him, and I don't know whether he has lost some height or not, but I certainly struggle to see him much over 5'11 with Boris: Click Here
Based on that, I'm not sure Peterson looks a big 6'1 guy with him, but possibly more 6'0-6'1... And maybe near that 6'1.5 mark in shoes?

Editor RobI'm typing this a day later, because Shredder (rip) had asked me about him one time and I said I'd consider him. I found an interesting quote today (25th) so will give him a page. Not sure I agree with what he is claiming though...
Film Fan said on 23/Feb/19
He is old so he most likely has lost some height. He was probably around 6’ 1 1/4”-6’ 1 1/2” at his peak. Now, he’s probably 6’ 1” flat.

Rob, he also claimed 6ft1½ on Joe Rohan’s show
Sounds like he may have been measured at that earlier in the day. Although he can appear shorter than this when he does stretch up he looks around 6ft1
