What's The Most Accurate Way To Measure Your Height Yourself?!
Question: I come up with different results depending on how I do it. Back against the wall renders me 5'7.5, cadet straight sideways against the wall puts me at 5'8'' even, and facing the wall makes me 5'8 and a quarter. Which one do you think is most accurate? I know back against the wall is most popular, but it curves your spine.

Stand near a wall with face towards the wall, just a bit of space, don't touch the wall. Straighten up as much as you can and take a hard flat box and align on the top of your head and the wall, there should be no spaces with the box-wall and the bottom should be touching the top of your head. Mark that bottom part of the box where it touches the wall, then pull out a measuring tape/meauring stick etc. Voila.
Truth be told I'm not entirely sure there is a way, I think it would be best to have a friend help you if possible.
