The book delves into the concept of general mental ability, known as the g factor, introduced by Charles Spearman. It explores how this construct represents individual differences in mental abilities across diverse populations. Through factor analyses of extensive measures of mental skills, the g factor consistently emerges as the primary source of variation among individuals and specific subgroups, highlighting its significance in understanding cognitive differences.
