Yes... something along these lines:
Liquid intelligence is a kind of intelligence that can actually develop with age, and grow with experience. Before the age of 16, our intelligence is approximately 20 % liquid. After that it rapidly degenerates, turning into crystalized intelligence. It is not knowledge. At 30 I think we only have about 1-3% liquid intelligence. It is also claimed to shape, and be shaped by, our tendency to a certain type of know-how(math, music etc).
Crystalized is something that we can not change, our own starting intelligence. It changes a bit, but not much.
