| Yes or no...so if someone is 50 years old, does that necessarily mean they are more mature and intelligent than someone who's younger (let's say a 20 year old person)? I think the 30 extra years of life means that the 50 year old should be more mature and intelligent than someone who's only 20 years old. |

| Do maturity and intelligence actually come hand-in-hand? I wonder what the academic definitions are for the terms. They obviously aren't clear-cut things that are so easily measured as height or strength. |
| It depends on each person, but generally speaking I would say yes. The human brain doesn't fully develop until the age of 25. If we're comparing a 50 year old to a 20 year old, the 50 year old should be smarter more times than not. |
| No. |

| Defiantly not Ive seen old timers acting really stupid or really aggressive like some 20 year old yobs (is that the right term?) and Ive seen younger people act with maturity beyond their years. |

| No, age is just a number. Though with age comes experience which affects maturity and intelligence. |
 |
| Nah, just because they're older doesn't mean they're more mature or intelligent, but they are wiser due to having more experience. |

Where's your proof that the human brain doesn't fully develop until 25 years old? http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=141164708 From the article: "Under most laws, young people are recognized as adults at age 18. But emerging science about brain development suggests that most people don't reach full maturity until the age 25." Here's another one: http://www.academic.marist.edu/mwwatch/fall05/science1.htm |
| No. In many ways my past self 10 years ago was much superior to what I am now. But there are things that come with age too. It's just not something that increases in some linear fashion. Also maturity shouldn't ever be brought up with something like intelligence. That's just not what it is at all. No one will give a shit about your intelligence even though early life is designed to revolve around grades and stuff. |

| No, not at all Maybe one could hypothesize that the increased time of intelligent existence should lead to a greater development of intelligence (as I assume you to mean knowledge, actual intelligence is largely static after a point) and "maturity", but we know this to be untrue |

| Not necessarily. For example I would say that a boy of 18 years old is always more mature than one of 13 years old, because in that range every year counts, every year will shape yourself. But if we're comparing someone, say 30 years old, with someone 40 years old then no, I wouldn't say that the older is necessarily the more mature in this case. |
 "Are you... the next monarch? Or... merely a pawn of fate?" |
| Not necessarily. To some degree, yes. Maturity and intelligence also don't necessarily go hand in hand. |
 I can see you |
| it depends on the person |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| Are they more intelligent? Varies. Are they wiser? Yes. |

| Depends on the person. I know a guy (30 year old) who didn't even pass mandatory education. He has the capacity and he has and had the means, but he just won't. He hasn't worked for three or four years and he lives because of his grandma's charity. He doesn't care about any of this, he just want to play videogames all day long. He's ten years older, but I'd definitely wouldn't consider him more mature. |

Every year counts when you are younger, but as you get older a single year doesn't make much of a difference. |

| Depends on gender. Most males I know above the age of 40 are conceited, cynical and emotionally stunted. If I ever become like them I'd rather drop dead. Intelligence has nothing to do with age, wisdom does, anyway. |
 |
| No. They may have more experience, but that does not automatically lead to maturity. |

| Not really. But they are more experienced and THAT is what makes them appear more intelligent. But technically I wont say that they are. And thus it shows that experience is valued as much as intelligence, or so they say. |

| It all depends on the person. Many older people I know are idiots, and one of my best friends who is younger than me is more intelligent than I could ever hope to be. |

| Not really. Intelligence and maturity are more a personal thing than something that can be generalised to a whole age group |
