The \u003ci\u003eg\u003c\/i\u003e factor is about individual differences in mental abilities. In factor analyses of any and every large and diverse collection of measures of mental abilities, however varied the content of knowledge and skills they call upon, \u003ci\u003eg\u003c\/i\u003e emerges as the largest, most general source of differences between individuals and between certain subpopulations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJensen fully and clearly explains the psychometric, statistical, genetic, and physiological basis of \u003ci\u003eg\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the major theoretical challenges to the concept. For decades a key construct in differential psychology, the \u003ci\u003eg\u003c\/i\u003e factor's significance for scholars and researchers in the brain sciences as well as education, sociology, anthropology, evolutionary psychology, economics, and public policy is clearly evident in this, the most comprehensive treatment of \u003ci\u003eg\u003c\/i\u003e ever published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Jensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 6.27w x 1.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275961039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARTHUR R.
