every IQ Test Have a corresponding level according to age
simple question given to the youth ....
which they can doodle the answer to a high grades.
and to a grown up person which take effort on answering the test
Yes there are gifted child ...
that's why there are IQ test .. if a child score very high the proctor or maybe the teachers that concerns pulls out these gifted child to determine real gifted ones ...
that's why people invented retakes
My comment may not be as convincing as the others but it maybe taken for consideration

Yes, but there's good news.... by: Nathaniel G
To answer the question, in your case, it does look like IQ can degrade with age. The good news is, it can also upgrade - I took an IQ test three years ago and then took one yesterday, and found out that my IQ went up by 18 points!

Well I suppose so if your asking this question, if you read the article thoroughly, IQ tests have an age variant.
obviously, you can't ask a 6 year old to do long division in their head, but you can ask what the word buoyant (just a random word that i would think most 6 year olds would not know)means to a 17 year old. The main point I guess I'm trying to get across is different questions for different ages.
It could also mean you are not progressing as fast as you were at age 6.
I am no psychologist and do not pretend to be one, but that is what would make sense.
