Do you believe IQ can change as you go from 17 to 30s?

People say your IQ does not change for the better once you become an adult but I believe I'm way more intelligent now then I was as an 18 year old kid. There is just one thing which was that my memory was better then Einstein when I was a kid and now its not super anymore.

I believe (I could be wrong) but it's not your IQ that'll change. It's that when you get older you get wiser. You see more things for what they really are. Wisdom comes with age.

Yep, IQ is usually calculated, your score divided by the age, so as its not increasing the score goes down, simply by increasing the divided age.

I don't think IQ is a very useful measure, but I do think you can improve your ability to think with time

They mean that your brain stop growing up, potential stay the same but you get experience.

I asked a similar question to my psychology faculty, and he said that EQ and IQ can change with time. it can increase as well decrease, as its basically just tells you more about your experience and brain activity.
