Unfortunately not. There are an astounding number of people out there who never gain wisdom no matter how many times they screw up.
For those that don't have the above mentioned "learning disability", age and experience definitely help.

No. I think it is proportionate to maturity regardless of age. I had enough wisdom to walk out of church at the age of 15 when the Reverend told me I would never have any choice in life. I think it all depends on the individual.

no it also depends on maturity. Someone can be very wise at the age of 5 and have maturity of a 9 year old. And a 70 year old can have lots of life of wisdom but the maturity of a 2 year old.

It depends on what kind of wisdom you are talking about specifically. Say medical knowledge tends to be greater with people who are older and who have more experience, compared to a teenager. In general, wisdom tends to be better with, not necessarily older people, but mature people, people who are able to understand things from a multitude of perspective.

Never. Wisdom, in my opinion, comes with experiences, circumstances/situations, and the way we choose to handle our selves in those moments. It comes when we have 'been there, and done that', and learned from it.
I know people who are wise, and they have only been on this earth for a few years, and I know of people who are not so wise, and they are near death. It's amazing.

definitely not.
as said, sometimes people suprisingly young, can have signifigant wisdom, and some "adults" can be ... suprisingly unwise.
soul age is more signifigant, how many live's you've been through, your soul age that is, has a much more signifigant impact on "wisdom".

no, you get wisdom by living life, the harder the life you lead the more wisdom you have, it may be affected by maturity and age a little but the main factor is life and the cards your delt

There are age-related dementias to consider, but generally older people seem wiser.

Yes. Life teaches things that will never be taught in school.

No, it's a bit like maturity. We all have to grow old, but you can stay immature forever.
