<p>I think IQ and fluid intelligence are interrelated enough that I can use them interchangeably. I was wondering if on an individual level, if it was possible that ones IQ can jump a certain amount of points in their early twenties? I know this is not the "general" trend at a group level, but I was just wondering if it was biologically possible since we know the brain is still developing in ones early twenties.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

I think I saw something like that reported (in few/select individuals, who had some kind of late development), but can't find the paper right now.
