🧠 A study published in the Journal of Intelligence found that while mathematical and musical abilities show some association, this link is primarily driven by general intelligence, not a direct connection between the two skill sets.

🔬 Researchers studied 170 adults (average age 25) from math, music, and control groups. They found weak associations between specific mathematical and musical tests, but both skill sets were moderately linked to intelligence.

💡 When intelligence was accounted for, the association between mathematical and musical abilities dropped to near zero, suggesting intelligence significantly influences performance in both domains.
