Except that if you put a brand new problem they've never seen before in front of someone who scores high on g-loaded tests, they are more likely to be able to solve it than someone who scores low on such tests. I'm not saying IQ tests are all that accurate or that the resolution they claim to have is meaningful... but if you look at the extreme examples, like someone who's a 60 versus someone who's a 140, there is a pretty striking difference. That's why I chose an "8" for that question... I'm reasonably sure that it's measuring something that deserves to be called general intelligence, but not completely sure.
