#363: In our 20\u2019s and 30\u2019s, we have high levels of fluid intelligence, or raw intellectual horsepower. We can ace tests, impress people with our memory and recall, and analyze facts, documents and data.\nBut in our 40\u2019s and 50\u2019s, we have higher levels of crystallized intelligence, which allows us to draw together novel insights from across domains.\nFluid intelligence allows us to analyze, or break apart.\nCrystallized intelligence allows us to synthesize, or put together.\nEach type of intelligence invites us to express different skills, to pivot our role at work \u2013 or perhaps even to change careers or industries altogether.\nIn today\u2019s episode, Harvard professor Arthur Brooks discusses these two types of intelligence, and outlines how we can gracefully move from one strength to the next.\nSubscribe to the show notes at https://affordanything.com/shownotes\nLearn more about your ad choices.
