No Demonstration That "g" Is Not Unitary, but There's More to the Story: Comment on Kranzler and Jensen.

Carroll, John B.

Intelligence, v15 n4 p423-36 Oct-Dec 1991

Jensen (1991) have not demonstrated that a factor of general intelligence ("g") depends on several independent factors. A factorial reanalysis of their data suggests that speed and efficiency of information processing are important in "g." (SLD)
