g-factor
General cognitive capacity
The g-factor is a measure of general intelligence—the common thread underlying performance across diverse mental tasks.
In psychology, it emerged from the observation that people who score well on one type of cognitive test tend to score well on others: IQ tests attempt to measure the g-factor.
In physics, g-factor refers to a dimensionless quantity relating a particle's magnetic moment to its angular momentum.
