What is the correlation between age and IQ? At what age does a person reach optimum IQ? I am 15 years old and my IQ is 138, how does that compare with people in my age group?
Thanks |

| At your age, the score bodes well, that's all. Better test at maturity. Age 12, I was tested, encouraged to join Mensa... yet today my mind is a blunt instrument. You could say people enjoy "optimum" IQ at a young age... what does that mean? |

For non-adults, IQ is supposed to be correlated to intelligence-age. That is, if you're 10 with an IQ of 120, that equates to the intelligence of a 12 year old.
Once you're an adult, it is supposed to be correlated to your peer group/cohort whatever.
Speed of reaction tends to diminish with age and therefore IQ scores should show a gradual decline but...
Knowledge and experiece tend to increase with age, including experience of doing IQ-style tests so...
In many cases these can balance out. |

yah, but if one man does numerous IQ tests it is very likely that he`ll get 160+ score at some point...

"Intelligence" is a man made label, its definition is arbitrary. I can say Swerlyness is this and that, and then make a SQ Test, a Swerlyness Quotien Test based on my own parameters.
I would not dwell on it. 
Age: Your ability to learn is very high from the moment you are born but you start knowing nothing and have to learn just about everything. You learn to create the mental illusion we perceive as sight, you learn that the strange things moving around are your hands , that the kid in front of you is yourself(mirror), etc. Your brain is fully developped around the age of 24, at that point you have the tools required for jugement and afterwards you still learn about life the world and so on. The more food for thought, stimulus, concepts and experiences you are exposed to the more you learn. A clone of Einstein put in a dark box and intraveinoulsy fed from birth would at age 25 (if he survived), probably be functionally blind, unable to walk or talk, and could 'potentially' never reach the functionality levels of an average person, for the rest of his life  . |
