  • Consider asking your doctor to measure your height with a stadiometer.
  • Look for a stadiometer that is constructed out of a ruler and a sliding horizontal headpiece that you can adjust to rest on the top of the head.
  • Using a digital stadiometer will yield a more accurate result.
  • Find a digital stadiometer if possible.
  • Look for a stadiometer at a doctor's office or a gym.
  • Find a stadiometer to help measure your height.
  • Add the individual measurements together to get your height.
  • Keep measuring this until you reach the pencil mark you made using the box.
  • If your measuring tape is too short to measure your full height, measure as high as you can and make a pencil mark on the wall.
  • Keep the measuring tape flat against the wall.
  • Measure from the floor to the pencil mark with a measuring tape.
  • You may be able to make the mark without sliding out of position at all.
  • Try putting your finger at the bottom of the box and hold it in position as you slide out of position.
  • Hold the box in its position and slide out from under it, if possible.
  • Mark the place on the wall where the bottom of the box is resting.
  • Make sure not to move the box or your finger as you do this.
  • Mark the position above the top of your head on the wall with a pencil.
  • Do not tilt the box as this will cause an inaccurate measurement.
  • Use the mirror to make sure the box is horizontal to the floor and perpendicular to the wall, forming a right angle.
  • Raise the small box to the top of your head, and press it against the wall.
  • Hold the box in one hand, and the mirror and pencil in the other.
  • Make sure that can easily reach anything that you might need while measuring yourself.
