I have no doubt poor people in the developing world can’t reach their full genetic IQ potential because of impoverished environments but this doesn’t seem to be the case in the US where evidence shows both poor and rich have similar IQ heritability https://twitter.com/NoamJStein/status/933827876641583104 …

g = "g factor" if multiple intelligences were true cognitive task performance would not correlate- But performance on diverse cognitive tasks & even reaction time all correlate v. positively-there is high loading onto a single factor, the g factor is simply a mathematical reality

So it's a mathematical reality, is it a biological reality? Is there evidence for biological causes for g, that aren't correlations?

All personality variables like the big 5, and other things like sexual openness are factor loadings onto a correlation matrix- would you say extraversion doesn't exist?

Well Eysenck proposed that extraversion is caused by variability in cortical arousal. I don't know if that hypothesis has been tested though. We have a set definition of extraversion, one cannot say the same for g. I'm worried about biological causes, not correlations.

My attempt to explain the causes of the g factor are in several papers, starting here; the basic idea is mutation load reduces g, via disrupting 'neurodevelopmental stability' https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2a71bf7e0ab3ba886cea3/t/58ebbdea197aea9c4054598c/1491844589895/2000+sexual+intelligence.pdf …
