Most people who began life with above average intelligence were above average when they were older, while others who had below average intelligence tended to stay below average, English.news.cn reported.

They also took genetic samples and quantified the role genes play in determining how much transformation there is in intelligence as we age.

Multiple Intelligences
Gardner’s theory of Multiple intelligences is a salutation to the different types of intelligences that are inherent in humans. It has strong implications on children’s education & adult lifestyles.

"We estimate roughly a quarter to a third of that change is genetic," Professor Peter Visscher, lead author of the study said in a statement.

"Measuring detailed environmental factors over a person's entire life course is very difficult."
