Psychological peak form occurs between ages 55-60, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Contrary to popular belief, human capabilities do not peak in early adulthood but rather in middle to late adulthood, according to a study published in the journal Intelligence. Researchers Gilles Gignac and Marcin Zajenkowski developed a composite index of psychological functioning, which includes cognitive abilities, financial judgment, and moral reasoning. Their findings indicate that while fluid intelligence peaks in early adulthood, crystallized intelligence, personality traits like conscientiousness and emotional stability, and applied skills such as emotional intelligence and financial literacy continue to improve well into a person's 60s and 70s.
