Do you think, age is factor intelligence or not?

I think , age is not factor of intellect. Average child intelligence is equal average adult intelligence.
Intelligence is processus reflexion and raisonnement. Yes, adult know more, but adult think no more rapidity.
The adult wins because he already knows the answer.
However, if a child and an adult are put in a labyrinth and asked the question Why is the Sun in the Universe, then the child and the adult will have to analyze the world themselves, without having ready-made knowledge.
Children can trick adults.
Children may mature before their age, such as during times of war.
And before death, the child writes wise words that are available only to older people.
Child is inferior in adult because people create age limit.
Child don t interessed in work.
Potentially child is not inferior adult.

Also, but is other question , I believe, ordinal people can become genius.

I think you're either born with intelligence or not

The only things you acquire with age are knowledge, experience and perhaps skill

Innate intelligence in younger people can be offset by acting like totally oblivious, obnoxious, narcissistic idiots before [i]maturing[/i] though
