Psychologists distinguish between two forms of intelligence: fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence.
Fluid intelligence is your ability to process information quickly and solve novel problems you haven’t encountered before.
Crystallized intelligence is the knowledge you have accumulated over time, and your ability to use that knowledge.
These two forms of intelligence develop differently across your lifespan.
Fluid intelligence tends to decline as you get older. Crystallized intelligence tends to increase, because you continue accumulating knowledge and experience over time.
Formal education is useful for increasing crystallized intelligence. You learn more facts, concepts, vocabulary, and ways of thinking about the world.
Fluid intelligence, though, is much harder to change.
