Answer and explanation:

Ian and Nolan have a tendency to reach similar scores at age 5 since twin studies show that shared genetics of identical twins cause them (the twins) to have incredibly IQ percentages. This same thing applies for when they get older, around age 25, because IQ scores don't really change a lot throughout a lifetime.
