I don't know if "Mental Age" is a right analogy. There's certain biological factors that make that impossible. For instance, when you turn 18 and a half your body gets fat and begins to be sexually viable. And at 16 your hormones allow you to experience true love. At 23 your conscience is fully developed, and you can take more accountability for yourself. At 30 you become capable of understanding a bit deeper, and grow more mature. 30 was an interesting age, as a light bulb just clicked. You can see it on my blog, before 30, I was kind of silly, but then at 30 it just matured me instantaneously. I was reading old blog posts and could see the shift. You become more aware of evil at 30, and lose a lot of your naivety. And you also become less prone to worrying about social mistakes. You become significantly more aware of the other at 30, and I don't think that can exist even in a child prodigy. That's just not a good way of putting it.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
