Is this the wisdom that age is meant to bring?

This got my attention because I've found that my empathic emothional responses -of the kind that this study looks at- have been growing 'fuller' in the last handful of years. Now, I'm only in my 50's and that was the decade of life that wasn't actually looked at in this study. But I'd be willing to discover that the process may start to become pronounced in the sixth decade of life. The report of the research is here: Emotional intelligence peaks as we enter our 60s, research suggests
It's clear that it's research that will need further investigation as there are only 144 subjects. But the fact that it seems to corroborate informal observation and coheres with an earlier study gives further plausibility, as does the explanatory hypothesis:

"'Increasingly, it appears that the meaning of late life centers on social relationships and caring for and being cared for by others,' Levenson said. 'Evolution seems to have tuned our nervous systems in ways that are optimal for these kinds of interpersonal and compassionate activities as we age.'"

And the reason I linked this with wisdom can be seen in these phrases from the report:

Older people, it turned out, were the best at reinterpreting negative scenes in positive ways using positive reappraisal, a coping mechanism that draws heavily on life experience and lessons learned. ...
heightened sensitivity to sadness does not indicate a higher risk for depression in the context of Seider's study, but is actually a healthy sign

In other words there is greater emotional resiliance developing in healthy adults as they age. Of course, this would also mean that things like MBTI scores relating to the 'F' function as people age. This may be of a piece with the matter of 'growing into ones shadow' which is meant to be a mid-life and after characteristic.
