The Two Phases of Intelligence in Life
There are two types of intelligence that people experience throughout life. The first is fluid intelligence, which peaks in the late 30s or early 40s and then starts to decline. This type of intelligence is characterized by innovation, focus, and energy. The second type is crystallized intelligence, which increases in the 40s and beyond. This intelligence is based on pattern recognition, wisdom, and using existing knowledge. It does not rely on working memory or innovation. Understanding this shift can help individuals navigate their careers and focus on tasks that align with their current stage of intelligence.
