Tragic fact is that humans lose intelligence after their 15th year. We become dumber and dumber and need to compensate for this with education, training and experience.
That's why your age is relevant for IQ test; the IQ is a measure relative to your age group only. An IQ 120 person at 70 years answers much less questions correctly in such a test than an IQ 120 person at 20 years.
Young people are also less encrusted with cognitive dissonance issues yet.
Especially in my case. I not only have cognitive dissonance issues, I have plain old cognitive issues.
Lessee. IQ 120 at 20 + 58 years = ((120-58)² - (20+58)² ) / 78 =~29. Seems about right...
My Wife also says I have dissonance issues but she just doesn't appreciate good singing...
